British Boy Slept For Months In Garden Tent To Raise Money For Hospice

BRAUNTON, England: A British boy who began sleeping in a tent in his garden back in March to raise money in memory of his neighbours, was celebrating on Wednesday after his charity camp-out amassed more than 40,000 pounds ($52,000).

Days after Britain imposed a national lockdown to curb the spread of COVID-19 in March, Max Woosey, 10, set out to raise 100 pounds for a local hospice that looked after his neighbours Rick and Sue who died of cancer, fearing it would suffer due to the pandemic restrictions.
