13-year-old Jaequan Faulkner sold $2 hot dogs with $1 soda and chips outside his home in Minneapolis, MN. His goal was to earn money for school clothes.

Unexpectedly, someone sent an email complaint with the Minneapolis Health Department about his business. But even though he was in violation, authorities didn't close down his stand.

Instead, they equipped him with thermometers, food containers, hand sanitizer, and utensil-cleaning stations. They also offered guidance on proper food handling and even covered the $87 cost for his "short-term food permit."

All of this support caused his business to flourish. He began selling "between 100 to 150 hot dogs a day."
