In the city of Irvine lives a community of affluent people who bathe in luxury and lavishness. Twenty minutes away in the city of Santa Ana gathers a crowd of needy, underprivileged people waiting in line to be provided the basic life necessities.

This Thanksgiving break, I joined with my church to make 300 bags of sack lunch to hand out.

In sharing my compassion, my life becomes more meaningful and worthwhile.
