“I know I came to talk about me and my experiences today, but while I was writing this, I was persuaded to not overlook the advancements of many others like me and my siblings. We all made it this far because Food For The Poor stepped in and gave us something a lot of young people are struggling with today -Identity. A lot of the parents came to the camp with their children in need of help but left with much more. They leave with tools, which ends the cycle of them having to keep coming back for help. They also leave with an investment in their child’s life which breaks the generational cycle of poverty and struggle. Where that child is now able to succeed in life and help those struggling around them.”  – Daniel Shreves
