Charles
Charles is proud of the time he spent serving our country, but his time in the military seems like a lifetime ago now. Today, this veteran lives with his grown nephew, and it’s a struggle for the two of them just to make it through the month after the money runs out.
“I’m a disabled veteran,” Charles says. “My nephew works, but our bills are pretty high so that takes his paycheck right there. I get a fixed income and use it to buy what groceries I can and things for the house. At the end of each month, I’m out of food and out of money, so I depend on the food pantries quite a lot.”
“It’s very important for the both of us. Well, for everybody, actually. There are a lot of families out there that are hurting like we are … some of them even more so. There are kids out there that are starving — right here in our own country. So it’s important that people support the Houston Food Bank to help these families and children.”
“This is a good place, and they give a lot of food here. They give good quality meats. They really care and this helps out a lot.”
