I know—you don’t want to hear any more bad news. Not about the housing crisis. Not about layoffs. And certainly not about the economy as a whole.
I don’t blame you one bit.
I don’t want to hear about it either.
What I do want to hear are stories. Stories about greatness. Stories about goodness. Good old-fashioned stories about heroes.
In hard times, heroes often emerge … and as I travel the country reaching out to struggling American communities, I find myself encountering more of these heroes every day.
Real heroes rarely have aliases, weapons, or disguises. They live simple lives. They do simple work. They have not-so-exotic names like Tracy … and Don … and Isabel. They come from not-so-exotic places like Wilmington, Ohio and Elkhart, Indiana.
But they encounter very real obstacles—like mass corporate layoffs and some of the highest unemployment figures in the nation—and they overcome with grit, strength of character and sacrifice.
We are here to offer support to such heroes, because real-life heroes are still vulnerable. They can still go hungry. They can still suffer.
That’s why Feed The Children is reaching out to real-life heroes in the towns and communities across America hit hardest by mass layoffs and unemployment.
