This 13-year-old is out to prove that no disability can hold a candle to his abilities.

LANSDALE, Pa. --"When I was little, people said no, you can't do this, you can't do that. And that made me feel like I was second class," said Shane Popiny."So, I decided to start this candle company to prevent disabled children from feeling the same way I felt."

"We're like, why don't we just make candles because we had to raise that money, right?" said Shane's mom, Marie."So, we raised $17,000 to get Pepper. And it has been love ever since with the candles." The Eagles Autism Foundation is grateful for the support. Since its inception in 2018, it has already raised $15 million.
