This young lady will remain in my heart forever.
During one of our “Feeding the Needy” community giveback events, we connected with this little sister right here. From the moment we met her, it felt as though she was crying out for God to send His disciples to rescue her. As we spent time speaking with her, our hearts were moved to do something we had never done before — to take her to a safe and peaceful place, even if it was only for one night of comfort and wellness.
Unfortunately, despite every effort we made, nothing was successful. We left that day carrying sadness, worry, and many unanswered questions in our hearts. As we continued returning to serve meals during future outreach events, we noticed she never came back. We prayed, we mourned, and we held on to hope.
Then in March, during our last “Feeding the Needy” event, we were told that she was no longer with us.
I asked myself, “God, what did we not do right? How much power do we truly have to make a difference?” What I realized is that one person alone cannot change the world. It takes a village — people willing to create safe spaces, provide resources, and come together to serve those in desperate need before it is too late.
These are not strangers. They are our brothers, sisters, children, nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, and loved ones. Their pain is our pain.
If this message touches your heart, we invite you to connect with us, partner with us, and stand with us. We are calling on volunteers and professionals from all fields to help us continue making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Together, we can become the village someone is praying for.
