Helping the less fortunate
In 2022 I will be feeding the homeless. I’ve been feeding the homeless for a couple years now. The way that I do it is I go out with my table, a few friends or family members. We set up a spread of food on the table. Then we make plates based on what each individual says they’d like to eat. Hot meals are always fulfilling so that’s what I always take instead of only a cold sandwich. In the past I’ve fed the homeless dinners like chicken, corn, string beans. Sometimes I feed them spaghetti. Each time I go feed the homeless I try to take a different meal than the last one I fed them.. Going out to feed the homeless they are always so grateful. They smile and say thank you each and every time This year, 2022 I’m going to start a non profit organization for the homeless. I am starting a website for my organization in hopes to get more donations for the homeless. The website will tell people what I do and how they can volunteer and or donate. Every month I go out to parks and shelters and feed the homeless . My 2022 goal is to feed the homeless every week. In Feb 2022 I will be having a huge dinner for the homeless. During the dinner I’ll also be having a love shower for the homeless. I’ll shower the homeless with love by giving them Valentines day cards, candy, dinner and treats. Some homeless people have families and love ones but others may not have anyone to simply say “I love you” I don’t know the homeless people personally but I’ll make sure I tell them I love them and care for them.. Feeding the homeless really melts my heart.. Feeding the homeless and seeing their smiles, and having conversations with them makes me feel so good. I love helping those in need. I like to think like what if I was in their shoes, I would definitely want a caring person to help me out. The way that I help the homeless is by giving them hot meals that I prepare or my family prepares, by giving the homeless Bible verses, encouraging words, job info, shelter info , toiletries, tents, air mattresses, and more. My goal is to continue helping them and watch them grow and be able to one day get their lives back. I also assure them that they’re not too old, and it’s not too late to get their life in order. I want to love them back to life. My goal is to help the homeless the entire time that I’m here on earth. I have kids and they also go out with Me to help the homeless. I want my kids to see what I do in the community and continue doing it years from now with or without me.. I will also travel the world feeding the homeless. I have a paper, and on that paper I wrote down different places in the world that I want to go help the homeless. My first stop will be new York. One of my stops will be in Africa. Going to Africa to help those less fortunate, and also spread the word so that others can go out and help the homeless as well. Going to Africa to help is something that I’m really excited about. This is a big to do for me.. There are people all over the world who need help. I’m going to help as much as I can.. I post things on social media in order to get people to help those in need as well. I want my light to shine so bright that it makes others want to help people as well. I am blessed and I will always bless others whenever I can.

A letter to my hero , my Aunt
A letter to my hero, my Aunt Dear Aunt Lubby, You might not know it, I might not say it but you’re my hero. You encouraged me to use my gift of writing. You knew that I was good at writing. When I stopped writing for a few years, you would say “have you been writing? You need to start back writing!” You know that I am good at writing, and you don’t want me to waste my gift. You’re the reason I started back writing stories and poems. All heroes do not wear capes. You definitely don’t wear capes. You wear dresses, sandals, and head wraps around your beautiful dreadlocks. All heroes don’t have superpowers like the ones in the movies, like flight,, or the superpower where the hero or superhero can disappear. Some people have regular people powers.. Aunt Lubby you have regular people powers,, your powers consist of uplifting your love ones, motivating your love ones, and loving on your love one’s. Even when I wasn’t uplifting and motivating myself, you always lift me up. You always motivate me, on a regular basis. Dear Aunt Lubby, you are my hero, you showed me what strength is. You showed me what super strength is. The type of strength that you have is out of this world, let’s call it super strength. You are one of the strongest people that I know. You’re stronger than an ox! No matter what came your way I never seen you give up. You just pick yourself up, and keep going. Watching you and seeing your strength on a day to day basis, I know that I have to be like you and never give up, I have to keep pushing. I always come to you for advice. You are always there to tell me what you think I should or shouldn’t do. You are always there to assist me whenever I need you. You have made a positive impact on my life. You made a positive impact through your words of advice, your words of Encouragement, your motivation, and your love. Aunt Lubby, you are so protective. You make sure that I’m n in harms way. You constantly call me and check on me. You always make sure I make it home safe from any destination. That’s one if the reasons that I look up to you. I’m so Thankful to have a aunt like you. You have done so much for me. The things that you have done have shaped me into the amazing human being that I am today. You have done so much and you don’t expect money or any type of reward for what you do. Even when you’re not your best. Even when you’re not feeling good, you’re always there for me. You’re always telling me how proud of me you are. You’re always there pushing me, making sure that I reach my full potential. No my hero does not fly across the world like a superhero in the books. My hero does run to my side every time that I need her. Aunt Lubby you are always there to save the day. You save the day when it’s something that I don’t understand, and I call you for answers. You save the day when you listen to me vent. You save the day when you take a load off of me. You save the day when you push me by encouraging me to “Do it!” When I don’t feel like it, or when I lose interest in something you push me. You’re my hero, you don’t need a cape, you don’t need superpowers. You were born with your own set of unique powers. I love you, I look up to you, I admire you. I’m so thankful and happy that you’re apart of my life.
