With the help of his mother Jennifer, Jonah started his own business called Jonah’s Hands selling his handmade goods. After going viral Jonah received an overwhelming amount of orders. Thousands of people wanted to buy the items, so Jonah’s mother decided not to take all of the orders because 6th grader wouldn’t be able to fulfill them all.
The talented 11-year-old even receive fan mail from people who are admiring his skills and some even ask him for lessons. Quickly followers began referring to Jonah as the crocheting prodigy and a wunderkind.

But the boy has even bigger plans for the future. He’s working hard at school and hopes to become a surgeon one day.
But that’s not all of the good work he does. Jonah uses his talent to give back to his homeland Etiophia. He sends his goods and collects funds to help Ethiopian children achieve their dreams.
