"I just had to share as what you orchestrated and accomplished is incredibly impactful. I feel like Saturday’s event was a Godsend. I had two extremely poor families come to me today both desperately needing food. One was a mother with five young children and another young student of mine who is all alone with her 17 year old brother. Her mother is back in her country and father has abandoned them. Both she and her brother work to pay rent and go to school. When I asked what both needed, they immediately said food. I took them to the bins and let them get as much food as they could carry. Thank you friend. What you did is huge - it fills bellies and I could see the sense of relief wash over them. You done good. ❤️"
