A 13-year-old boy named Simon begged his mom, Annie, to give him her last $13 to start a business. Despite their poverty and living in an old trailer, Simon believed in hard work and determination—values instilled by his mother. With the money, Simon started a garden business, growing and selling produce. As the business flourished, they moved into a rented home, and Annie quit her janitorial job to help him.
Eventually, Simon partnered with a wealthy farmer, Alex, expanding their operations and exporting produce. Two years later, Simon saved enough to build his mother a $2 million home. Annie was overwhelmed with pride, realizing her dream of a better life had come true, thanks to her son’s perseverance. Despite his success, Simon stayed humble, tending to the garden that started it all.
