We All Can #BlessABuddy

Cornelius M Dyson

Even through the haze of addiction, Cornelius never lost his natural ability to uplift others. After years of struggling, he began to use comedy as a way to heal himself and others. Telling jokes on the streets and selling lemonade became his way of reconnecting with the world. He started a movement—allowing people to "bless a buddy" by purchasing a lemonade for someone else. This act of kindness grew into a larger campaign, with 25% of all sales going into a fund to help anyone in need, whether it was someone at the grocery store, on the street, or on a bus. Cornelius's mission was simple but profound: show people that no one person can do it all, but together, we can all "bless a buddy."
