Overview

"""We are Your Neighbors"" is collection of stories that will give you a glimpse into the lives of some of the people who are seeking assistance at The Storehouse of Collin County, a large food pantry in north Texas. What would your life be like if you had been born in different shoes? By speaking to several of the Neighbors that she has met while volunteering at The Storehouse, Nancy introduces us to seven different people with seven very different lives. You will meet Cristina, who was transformed from a person seeking help to a person offering help; Arnold, who's accident changed his life in an instant; Victoria, who cares for her adult handicapped daughter; Juliana, who went from knowing only a few words of English in eight grade to making A's in college; Diusnery, who is doing whatever it takes to build a good life; and Mary, who finds a way to thrive in spite of her struggles with depression. Through the eyes of our neighbors, learn about obstacles that many of us have never even considered. This book will challenge your assumptions about who is standing in line at our nation's food pantries and open your heart to the fact that we are indeed all fellow children of God."
