Samhita writes, “This year we wanted to do something more meaningful to kickoff the new year. The main goal was to feel more fulfilled and give our kids a flavor of community service.
Our 11 year old was humbled to see a shelter setup and how much our tiny donation meant to them. A small effort could impact so many people in a positive way.
We are glad that we could give our children this experience and would like to do more in the near future.
We hope to be able to go one day to a local shelter and cook a whole meal and serve them.
Note to all the people out there-
“If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.” …
“You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.”
Best wishes
Saxena family”
