Senator Pam Helming recently met 10-Year-Old Lucas Powell of Wolcott, NY and visited his store, Farm Friendly Finds Boutique.
Lucas calls himself “The Kardiac Kid” because he was born with a birth defect of the heart. Remarkably, he's had four open-heart surgeries. Inspired by shows like American Pickers and Pawn Stars, Lucas opened his own business, Farm Friendly Finds Boutique in Wolcott, where he sells antique furniture, toys, household goods and collectibles. He also plans to give back to organizations like Make-A-Wish to help other kids.
Senator Helming said, “Meeting Lucas was truly inspiring and something that I will always remember. You can support Lucas's business at 5751 New Hartford Street, Wolcott, in the former Florentine Hendrick Elementary School.”
