It feels so good that there are people who are willing to share much of themselves to others. I hope I can have some part in helping others as well.
Maria,
I’m sure if you have the desire then the opportunity to help others will present itself to you. It starts with the desire.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Sara
Dear Maria & Sara,
Personally, I believe in the power of helping others. What I have learned over the years in my work as a charitable individual is I am helping myself. The more I give the more I receive. What I have enjoyed most is being around the kids. When I am down, they energize me to keep going.
Thanks for supporting the kids and telling their stories. I have a video that I will soon finish editing, then share on YouTube.
Thank you,
Joshua.
I personally experienced being help, physically, emotionally and spiritually thus I also want to help individuals who want to rise above the poverty they did not choose to be born into. How? We seek God’s guidance and direction.
