A 10-year-old from Missouri City, Texas, is using her entrepreneurial skills to help animals in need.

When Hurricane Harvey hit, Frannie Joseph saw on the news rescuers saving pets left behind, and decided to set up a lemonade stand with her friends to raise money for their efforts. They called themselves Harvey's Animal Helpers, and in three days, raised $3,500 for the Humane Society of the United States. To thank Joseph, the Humane Society invited her to visit the Cleveland Armory Black Beauty Ranch, an animal sanctuary in Murchison, Texas.
