Checking in. Was 85 and the pine trees are exploding with yellow "smoke". Just what we need.
Delivered 50 bags of 4 meals each to one trailer park in town. 98% Hispanic. Had a Panamanian lady helping me [one of our key Human Services employees]. Then 100 hot meals to a trailer park in the middle of no where. 99.9% Hispanic. Go to door with meals. Some would not open the door and could hear kids inside. "Vielka, help!" She would go to the door and speak Spanish and the door would open. Mom would take the food and say thank you in Spanish. Vielka said they were afraid the white guy might have "papers". Sad. Folks have to live in fear. Reward was seeing kids smile and Moms too. All very gracious and said thank you. Lots said, "God bless you." Some kids would not open the door when both parents were working. Been told not to open the door to strangers. Get neighbor to help us. Back Monday and Tuesday.
Now R&R.
