My favor

Someone once said, "helping is contagious." In fact, help forms in a variety of ways and is appreciated all over the world. Being able to lend a hand and take the time to make a difference in the world is beyond kindness. Growing up in a time of desperation and need, I experienced this at a very young age. Hunger swept like a hurricane into our lives and destroyed every refuge in our hearts. I was only 5-years-old and could not comprehend the fact that food was scarce. There was nothing to do and nowhere to turn. One day we heard a knock on our door. My mother opened the door and began to laugh hysterically. The strangers introduced themselves as the volunteers of the United Nations wanting to help us. They provided us with food and took care of us while we were there. I will never forget their help, kindness, and time because without them my family would never survive. Now, there are countless of families who are struggling to make ends meet and in desperate need of food. Certain organizations like the Second Harvest Food Bank is lending a hand to all these families. It doesn't matter what your income, orientation, or race is. This organization helps everybody and does not discriminate against anybody. There are over 175,000 families who are relying on Second Harvest Food Bank to feed their family and protect their loved ones from this economic crisis. An epidemic that destroys every life, every family, and every house it touches.
