“Extremely Empty Hands”

Continuing to Support the Extreme Makeover Ruiz Family
&
West Texas Food Bank

America’s Famine is a famine of plenty – silent famine of children that is growing more urgent each day. Where is the line to be drawn between a child in a third world country who has chronic hunger and a child in “America who doesn’t get enough to eat? Both kids have their health compromised, their potential unrealized and altered senses about what love and care mean.

The working poor of El Paso, those who have jobs but do not make enough to feed their families have Extremely Empty Hands.

The chronic, elderly, and medically poor that live with their food needs unmet have Extremely Empty Hands.

Newly poor families, who were once middle class that still have assets that make them ineligible for help. They don’t have enough cash to buy food, but because they still own a house or a fairly new car they are turned away from food stamp offices with Extremely Empty Hands.

There is no guarantee that losing a job, a spouse, a health insurance plan or simply having a poorly placed investment in the stock market might not set us and our children on the same downward spiral with Extremely Empty Hands.

There are hundreds of hungry children in an orphanage nearby, with innocent eyes still sparkling with hope, yet still Extremely Empty Hands.
