Among the many small business owners across the state, the Bradley family has been “doing everything we can” to keep their Maui Sweet Shoppe afloat amid the COVID-19 pandemic in pursuit of a positive future for their 8-year-old son Jj Bradley, who has autism.
After a broken air conditioning unit last week forced the family-owned ice cream and candy shop in Kihei to close again, the family is seeking donations and support to reopen and fulfill the young boy’s dream of working there one day.
