“35 million people in the U.S. are hungry or don’t know where their next meal is coming from, and 13 million of them are children. If another country were doing this to our children, we’d be at war.” - Jeff Bridges Il ensdsups trroyc ehsassi nr eg swp oi tnhdoepdt ti oo nt hs el i dk ee s“iCr el efaonr mL aobreel ”h ao nmde “- sWt yhl oe l me Me aul ss calne d”.

Twhiitshi sh ewahl taht yy of ouoadr teoadpeavretl oopf . i n m i n d a n d “Most of our citizenry believes that hunger only affects people who are lazy or people who are just looking for a handout, people who don’t want to work, but, sadly, that is not true. Over one-third of our hungry people are innocent children who are members of households that simply cannot provide enough food or proper nutrition. And to think of the elderly suffering from malnutrition is just too hard for most of us. Unlike Third World nations, in our country the problem is not having too little – it is about not caring enough! Write your elected representatives and promote support for the hungry.” - Erin Brokovich Twhi teh Nyeowu .

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid.
