Roberts’, who happens to be nearly blind, had set up a lemonade stand outside his house in hopes to raise enough money to "see" the world while he still had some sight left.
While at first the endeavor didn’t have Grayson’s desired result, after social media star Charlie Rocket shared Grayson’s efforts to story on Instagram, mentioning the fact that Roberts had no customers, it ended up going viral.
During Rocket’s visit to Grayson’s lemonade stand, he of course bought a cup of the sweet refreshment, however it also inspired him to treat Grayson to something even sweeter. Drumming up some more local business, Rocket set up a special lemonade stand event for Roberts at the Dream Factory in Los Angeles this past Friday. Together, they transformed the modest lemonade stand into a grand event they dubbed "Limitless Lemonade," drawing in hundreds of attendees who rallied behind Grayson's dream.
For the cherry on top, one of those hundreds of attendees happened to be Travis Barker, who even ended up serving up an impromptu jam session.
Charlie Rocket shared a video of the sweet moment on Instagram. Writing, “@travisbarker came to help @graysons_view drum up some business at his lemonade stand!!! Lol what a great soul Travis barker is. Thank you to @katietua @mikeytua @lukismac @sweetyhigh for helping make this happen !!!” as the caption.
In the video Barker can be seen approaching and introducing himself to Grayson. “I brought you some drumsticks and I also brought some donations, I brought some money,” Barker continued as he gifted Grayson with four drumsticks and placed some dollars into the jar on Grayson’s stand.
“I saw a video of you playing drums and singing,” Barker told Grayson, who laughed, before offering Barker some of his lemonade. “Do you think we can play drums and sing together?” Grayson then asked Barker. Barker replied that he’d “love to” and asked Grayson if he’d prefer to sing or play the drums, and with the world-class drummer in his midst Grayson opted to take to the mic.
Grayson also shared a video of meeting Barker, calling the moment "so amazing.”
"THANK YOU travis for taking a break while filming your music video to come by my Lemonade stand and allowing me to perform with you!! It was SO amazing And thank you for letting me choose the color of sprinkles because who doesn’t love sprinkles?! 🤷🏽♂️😁🙏🏽🍋🍋🍋," Grayson captioned his Instagram post.
