Every weekend, 8-year-old Brianna Bermudez of Bay Shore sits behind a bright yellow table with a bucket of lemonade and a red vase on the corner of West Leila and Manhattan Avenues in South Tampa with her grandmother. Her roadside profits, nearing $4,000, would have sent most kids into early retirement from the lemonade business a long time ago. But Brianna has a much bigger goal in mind. At 50 cents per cup, she’s raising money for her 1-year-old brother, Bryce, born legally blind, to undergo a $50,000 procedure in China that could possibly, within weeks, let him see his sister’s face for the first time.
