Benton’s work started after Trump issued a fresh call for the structure during his State of the Union address this year, Fox 35 reports.

"Benton decided right then and there that he wanted to help the president build the wall," his mother, Jennifer Stevens, told Fox 35.

Starting in February, Benton set up a hot chocolate stand in his family’s community, and since then, he’s launched his own lemonade and hot chocolate brand, Benton’s Stand, that sells products online.

Benton plans to continue fundraising by setting up a lemonade stand this summer, Fox 35 reports. His goal is $50,000.
