A heartfelt response

We received this email from Alfredo, a man we handed some bags to early one morning:

Hello and good day to you and yours !


I just wanted to thank you for the gift of gifts on a bag, I am one of the homeless persons that you and I believe your son passed a couple of Bags of Grave to one day before this past Christmas, it has to be one of the best packed care packages that I'd ever received this past 5+ years that I've been experiencing this "homeless"situation of my later life here on Earth, and I felt the need to let you and your crew know to that we seriously appreciate your love and care especially the time it must take to individually fill these bags and then actually go through the trouble of hitting these mean crazy streets to pas them out, not including the cost of each item and other sacrifices it takes to show this love and care to complete strangers whom you don't even know ......I know a lot of these individuals would share the same words of thanks and appreciation if they could, yet I know their addictions and at times lack of having the simplest means to communicate such as a phone or even WiFi , doesn't allow them the opportunity to do so. But I want say your heart is that of an angel 😇, because I know of what it takes to show such concerns, love and care for an "oppressed soul "of our society, God Bless you and yours, and may HE show HIS REWARDS TO THOSE SUCH AS YOURSELF, IN TIMES OF NEED AS WELL AS TIMES OF ANY DOUBT THAT HE IS WITH YOU .....ALWAYS
