Today, members of the Belen Fire Department had the privilege of stopping by to support Gracen at his lemonade stand.

Despite facing his own challenges, Gracen continues to show incredible strength, courage, and determination.

Through his lemonade stand, he is not only raising awareness about Neurofibromatosis (NF) but also inspiring everyone around him with his positive attitude and perseverance.

We are proud to support Gracen and his family and grateful for the opportunity to be a small part of his journey. His resilience is a reminder of the power of community and the impact one young person can have on so many lives.
