My name is Heather and I am hoping to make a stand against hunger. I have always had a strong passion for children and their well being. This last week, while my husband and I were doing yard work, I laid our 16 month old son down for a nap. I was so preoccupied when he got up, that I only gave him a sippy with no snack. Later, we had to wake him up from his second nap to feed him dinner, before going to our small group. He was so hungry that he just cried. It took a little over 20 minutes to calm him down enough to feed him.
That’s when it him me – I can not imagine how parents feel when they can’t feed their child. When they have to tell their child; “Sorry, we don’t have any food. Maybe tomorrow.” It’s heart wrenching to think that these innocent little children have to go to bed night after night with a hungry belly.
I know that hunger will always be an issue, but I have to try. I truly believe that together we can make a difference and save lives.
Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor – Proverbs 22:9
