"They've been abused or their parents are in prison or something else. Once you start to hear the stories of what these kids have gone through, it just touches your heart and you want to be able to help them. You want to do everything you can to support them," Cardon said in the story.
On March 13 and 14, the business will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from the exterior wash to the charity. The wash is trying to raise $10,000 to provide food, clothing and essentials for the children in Ecuador.
