Give It To Somebody Hungry

My 8-year-old daughter and I were out to lunch this last Friday at Panda Express. We both had quite a bit of food and she wasn’t able to eat it all. I gave her a couple of options of either saving it for dinner, give it to her sister later or she could give to somebody who was hungry. Without hesitation, she went to ask for a box to go, came back and said “mommy, I want to give it to somebody who is hungry.” We had to run a couple errands, but we said the next person we saw holding a sign saying “please help” would be the receiver of this meal.

Sure enough, about 30 minutes later, we saw a homeless man in his 50’s standing on the street corner holding a sign. I gave her the box of food and said for her to give it to him and she did so with hesitation and a smile.

She felt so good about providing a meal to someone who might not have had anything to eat that night or in a while. I couldn’t be more proud of my daughter. – Jessica 😀
