When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Tyler Rust, a teenager from Greece, does just that.

Now, complete strangers are lending him a hand.

Last year, boxing coach Christopher Rhabb first saw Rust selling lemonade in front of his home. Later, Rhabb met Rust at a store and they chatted about boxing.

Rhabb, who teaches at Rochester Fight Factory, invited Rust, 16, to the gym to get into shape. Rhabb stated in his Facebook post that Rust wanted to get involved in school sports but quit because he was constantly picked on and humiliated due to his weight.

A year passed by and Rust never contacted Rhabb. Last month, Rhabb saw Rust once again selling lemonade in from of his home. Rhabb stopped and asked Rust why he never called. Here's his story.

According to the Democrat & Chronicle, Rust's mom Desiree Pappas was diagnosed with cancer and has been unemployed since August with three children and a house to attend to. His father has been incarcerated for about four years.

Rust never called Rhabb because he didn't have money for lessons or equipments.

Rhabb made it his mission to start a campaign and help Rust improve his health and well-being. Rhabb set up a GoFundMe account to cover Rust's finances with gym fees, equipments, clothes, meals and nutrition. His goal was $1,000. However, donors gave $11,580.
