Two 12-Year-Old Boys Made $250,000 During The Pandemic And Are Giving To Local Animal Shelters

Ayann and Mickey Naqvi created the Ornament Anchor when one of their favorite ornaments slipped off a branch and broke while they were decorating their Christmas Tree. The anchor is a more secure way to hang your ornaments because the toggle device fastens the ornaments against the branch instead of just letting them hang.

Connecticut-based brothers buckled down and got to business. Within the first six hours at a local Christmas fair last year they sold over $1,000 worth of product.

Within a few months, Good Morning America featured the product as well as QVC. The product ended up selling out twice.

Ayann and Mickey made over $250,000 that year in revenue. The 12-year old brothers decided to donate 10% of their profit to local animal shelters and will continue to do so.

"Ever since I was super young I've had a fascination with all of life's creatures," Ayaan said on why he decided to donate to the animal shelters. "My goal is to help as many animals in need as I can."

Way to go boys!
