Lately, 8-year-old Conall Lane of Burlingame has been asking a lot of questions.

A few months ago he saw transients living on the streets of San Francisco with their tattered sleeping bags and shopping carts and wanted to know why they couldn't go home.

"Because they have no home," his mother, Olga Lane, told him.

Probably what disturbed Conall the most was that he saw a homeless mother with two daughters about his age, Lane said.

That's why Conall decided to do something about it. Last month he set up a lemonade stand and donated the proceeds, $130, to the San Francisco and Marin Food Banks.
