Jan Hus Presbyterian Church Saves The New Year


It's Wednesday, December 30th, 2015 and I'm in New York City. I'm not going to get into all the details on why I'm in the situation I'm in but let's just say it's not the best. I still keep an upbeat mindset and a never give up attitude. No matter what happens in life, as we all know, you have to keep on trucking. Don't cry over spilled milk. I'm a digital marketing professional in NYC. My job is to help companies with the web, mobile and social media. I know this article doesn't reflect to well on my skills but I have to keep it real and tell the story anyway. And by the way I'm awesome with web and mobile marketing. This afternoon, I was in my apartment hungry and didn't have any food or money. Regardless, I'm always able to survive one way or another, legally of course. I'm 39 and have no criminal record, nor do I ever plan on having one. I'm not judging anyone else, just saying, I grew up middle class wealthy, so it wasn't too hard to stay out of trouble.
Today's bail out came courtesy of the Food Pantry At Jan Hus Presbyterian Church and Neighborhood House. They are life savers. If you want you can donate to them on their website. Everyone working there is extremely friendly and goes out of their way to make you feel like someone cares. I went and asked for some food. They had me fill out a form and I drank coffee while I waited for my items. They gave me several cans of vegetables, apple sauce, cereal, peanut butter and jelly and raisins. I could not be happier or more full right now. As you see I'm back working. I have tons of prospects on the horizon and thanks to Jan Hus I can be productive with a full belly while I'm getting back on track. When I earn millions and billions I will not forget how they took care of me. It's unbelievable how some people go out of their way to help others. I think there is a lesson here for everyone. In my humble opinion the lesson is, you only live once, why not help others every once in a while. It's great to make money and do fun things, but it's also fun to give back. Running out of money for food can happen to anyone. Believe me I never thought in a million years it would happen to me. I have performed web services for dozens of companies and hundreds of people in the United States. If anything I thought I'd be a millionaire right now. Even if it's just giving a few bucks or donating your time, I posted the link so the ball is in your court. This is the only way I can give back to them and I wanted to make the best effort I could.
