Extra Money

Anyone that knows Ryder very will knows that he always on the lookout to make money.  Last year after turning 14 he found out that local businesses where hiring and paying very well.  BON sent out an email on a Friday afternoon looking for volunteers to help out in shipping.  Ryder immediately volunteered, one small hiccup you need to be 16.  He was devastated.  He quickly rebounded making me promise that if the age ever changed I would sign him up.

Two weeks later we get another email asking for volunteers for the weekends to help get caught up on backorders.  This request was for 13 years old & up with parental supervision.  Also, willing to pay $20 per hour with lunch included.  Guess who reminded me of my promise?  I signed us up for  Saturday morning working from 9 to 5 in Hildale.

2nd weekend
Lunch time...Subway
Dave & Reganne came along.

It was exhausting work but fun to get to know other employees taking advantage of the opportunity.  Reganne absolutely hated it and declared she would never do that type of work again.  Dave, Ryder, and I worked hard and had a little fun along the way.  It was a great experience learning about another area.  They work so hard and accomplish so much.  Ryder smelled the money and put in the hard work to complete the tasks we were assigned.
