KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — For the second year in a row, a Knoxville 6-year-old set up a hot chocolate stand to help families he never have even met. This year, it was in Bower Field Community Park.
Liam Gossett was adopted out of the foster care system by Jordan and Ashley Gossett last year. The boy came up with an idea to help other children who were still in the system — sell hot chocolate to raise money and make sure families in the area could celebrate Christmas.
“To be able to come out and share that with him this year and just help him make it bigger and better, it’s awesome,” said one of the attendees at the event. “I’m hoping this is an every year thing. We’re definitely looking for it to be.”
