8-Year-Old, Jalen Bailey, started a baking company to buy his mom a house
A Fresno, California 8-year-old resident started his own home-based bakery, in order to buy a house for himself and his mom.
Jalen Bailey runs the entire business out of the tiny rental home that he lives in with his single mother, Sharhonda Mahan.
He makes everything from scratch, and you can buy peanut butter cookies, banana nut muffins, vanilla cake in a jar and more for between $5 and $15 at Jalen’s Bakery.

“I said I wanted to be a millionaire,” he added. “I thought that wasn’t possible but now I think it is.”

Mahan has since set up a GoFundMe page so that Jalen can expand his business nationwide.
“He’s very excited,” Mahan told ABC News. “It seems like the more orders he gets, the more excited he gets and the more serious he gets about his business.”
