I know I have shared my story before so I won't go over it again. But when I saw that all those people coming with coats and food down the street to give to the shelter, that they wanted to help me because I was a person. They didn't do it to get a tax write off. They did it because they saw kids with thin coats waiting for school buses. they saw the pictures of the empty shelves in the community pantry, They did it because we were people to. So many times I felt like I was less than human, but all those people just wanting to help picked me up in a way that I can not explain, not then and not now.
