She built the coffee shop. Ten years later, her son worked it.

Amy Wright opened Bitty & Beau's Coffee in Wilmington, North Carolina, in 2016, hoping that one day her son Beau, who has Down syndrome, might want to work there. This month, he did. Wright shared a video of his first day at the company's original shop, where Beau stood behind the counter in his uniform and made her a drink. "I've spent the last 10 years hoping to create more opportunities for people with disabilities," Wright told Upworthy. "Today, I got to see what that looked like through the eyes of my own son." His manager, Sarah, said Beau had just completed his first order, calling the customer's name loudly. The room clapped, and Beau jumped up and down. Asked what he liked most about the job, he said making strawberry smoothies. Asked whether he planned to save his money or spend it, he had clearly thought about this. "Spend, and I'll save it for my trips. For both."
