他的妈妈克丽丝特尔·韦恩伯格在接受美国广播公司新闻网采访时表示,在一个月前,她的儿子告诉她一个主意,他想利用自己的艺术天分来做一件"善事"。
"I saw a spark in his eyes and he said, 'Mommy, I want to sell my pictures and take the money and buy kids toys for Christmas that may not have a Christmas,'" Winebarger said. "I said, 'Who are you going to sell them to? He said, 'Anybody.'"
韦恩伯格说道:"我看见他的眼睛闪闪发光,他说,'妈妈,我想把我的画卖了,然后用卖得的钱给那些可能过不了圣诞节的孩子们买礼物,'然后我问,'你准备把画卖给谁呢?他回答,'谁都行。'"

The gifts will be donated to Toys for Tots, the Salvation Army and local hospitals. The Winebargers live part-time in Tennessee, where recent wildfires have engulfed parts of the state. Jedd and his mother also plan to give toys to the children at the shelters there.

"We are so proud of him," Winebarger said. "[A]nd we will do whatever it takes to work hard to see him accomplish his goal. Our kids have such huge hearts. His sister Datesia worked hard helping wrap them and collect the money for the drawings. We all love to help others. His smile will light the room. He is a very special little boy who makes a big difference and is a great influence to us all."
"我们为他感到骄傲,"韦恩伯格说。"我们将竭尽全力帮助他实现他的目标,我们的孩子们有这样博大的胸怀,他的妹妹戴特莎努力帮忙包装礼物,并收集卖画的钱。我们都喜欢帮助别人。他的微笑可以点亮整个房间,他是一个非常特殊的小男孩,他做了件大事,对我们影响重大。"
