It's a beautiful, chaotic evening in my home. Dinner is cooked and ready to eat. The aromas of lasagna, garlic bread, and fresh salad are swirling the room as my family and I settle down to eat.This meal has been prepared by me and the vegetables were freshly grown in my garder out back. The pasta was bought from the Wh*** Foods Market just downtown for quite a low price. And this dinner taste like heaven, well-earned and paid for heaven.

In order to help sustain regular food source, I can learn ways to maintain a garden and teach to other people how to grow vegetables and fruits that will be beneficial to their diet. In addition to this garden I can organize a farmer's market where multiple families will exchange different fruit and vegetables in order to meet their needs.

It may be hard to believe, but there are people in search of food here in Belton, Texas. Many families have small children and the necessity for food is great, but their income is not sufficient to support and feed all the mouths that demand nutrients. Helping Hands is an organization that supplies food to these families with proof of employment and effort to try to obtain these necessities.

Ten years from now, you can find me in Dallas, Texas. My husband and I will be enjoying each other's company and embracing the fact that we have shelter, food, and water at our disposal. When the phone rings, we answer in acceptance. We answer knowing we can help and make a difference if we just make the effort.
