     My mom is always out helping others. One time she gave a lady some money just because she was a poor lady out on the streets gathering cans for money. One time she saw a man with a shirt that said, "I am poor and hungry," and she went and got a cheeseburger for him. Her name is Jenni. She is always trying to set an example, too.

     I am so thankful for her and everyone else in my family. I love everyone in my family. Everyone is looking out for each other.
