KIMBERLY SOTO

We’re coming from a church that serves dinner every week to the homeless and people who need a hand. It’s towards the end of the month so we’re struggling. Today, they served ravioli with cheese, green beans, salad, and bread. It was really good—my kids and I loved it.

Being a single mom, it’s tough. I’m not gonna lie. But I’m thankful for my children and for what I have, and for nice people who go out of their way to help. Raising twins is challenging, but these are good kids. They’ve always been good kids.
