I remember one Thanksgiving when our family had no money and no food and someone knocked on our door. A man was there with a giant 36 and some other food. The stranger announced “I’m here to help people 37 . Have a great Thanksgiving.”

From then on I promised 38 that someday I would do the same for others. Every Thanksgiving since I was eighteen I would buy enough food 39 like a delivery boy go to the 40 neighborhood and knock on a door. I always 41 a note explaining my Thanksgiving experience as a kid. I have received 42 from it than from any amount of money.
