A family's lemonade stand has raised nearly $25,000 for Children's Hospital in Cincinnati, WLWT reported.

Hilary Weider and her family moved from Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania in May.

After one day, the family posted a picture on Instagram showing how proud they were of raising $148.

The photo went viral, and with it, the fundraiser did, too. What started as a simple project took off, with some people donating thousands of dollars.

The money raised will go toward liver and organ research. Weider gave part of her liver to save her daughter's life in 2015, according to WLWT.
