“Hey everyone! I appreciate you taking the time to check this out. For my birthday this year, I've partnered with Harvest Hope to set up this virtual food drive. I'm humbly asking that instead of buying me a card or gift that you take that money and put it toward something that will help a family in need here in Upstate South Carolina.
This year has brought hardships for many families, leaving them unable to meet basic needs. I can't look away from that fact as I reflect on the blessings I have: the most beautiful and wonderful wife/partner, the bestest-best dog, and a steady job that allows me to pay all my bills. If you are able, please donate to help families less fortunate than mine. It only takes $15 to feed one family, so even a $1 donation will help. I can't think of anything else I would rather have for my birthday this year.
I love you all and, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!”
