As a mother of a large family, there are times when making ends meet feels nearly impossible—especially around the holidays and at the start of the school year. That’s when the S.H.A.Y. Foundation has truly made a difference in our lives. Their Harvest Bags of Love program has helped me put food on the table during the holidays, making it possible for my family to enjoy meals together without the stress of how we were going to afford it. It’s more than just a bag of food—it’s a reminder that we’re not alone and that someone cares. The Back to School Book Bags program has also been a huge help. With so many kids to prepare, school supplies can get very expensive, very quickly. Thanks to this program, my children were able to walk into school with everything they needed—from backpacks to notebooks—feeling confident and excited for the year ahead. I’m so thankful for the S.H.A.Y. Foundation. Their support has meant so much to me and my family during times when we needed it most. It’s comforting to know there’s a community out there that’s willing to lend a helping hand without judgment—just love and compassion.
