Donovan Smith, 11, is an amazing, creative young man. Despite the fact that he and his mom were homeless at one point, he found a way to help others who were in a similar situation. Donovan has created his own line of personal soaps that are selling like crazy at his stand in the Rail Yards Markets in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
His creations made of goats milk and Aloe Vera are very unique and look quite delicious. He creates soaps that look like food items as well as popular figures such as Darth Vader and Yoda. According to Donovan, his creations look so life like that people have even licked them only to realize that it really is soap. The name of his business is Toil and Trouble and 20 percent of his profits go to ‘Supportive Housing Coalition of New Mexico.’ The organization helped Donovan and his mother disabled Navy veteran Casey Smith, get back on their feet when she was unemployed and homeless. Donovan creates the mold for the soaps and chooses the fragrances for each soap himself and his mother helps out from time to time.
