Ian and his wife Kristi care deeply for their family. So much so, that the couple packed up and moved back to Texas to help extended family members who need additional support right now.

While Ian and Kristi look for new jobs, they are grateful to be able to visit Jesus House, a West Texas Food Bank Partner Agency to help supplement their ability to buy groceries.

The healthy food they receive not only fuels their transition as they search for work but also supports the growth and development of their two sons — Robert, 8, and Richard, 13.

“I’ve worked at convenience stores, motels, front desk, housekeeping — whatever puts food on the table,” Ian shares of his willingness to work hard.

Ian and Kristi both say they look forward to giving back once the family is able to fully settle.

“When we get back on track, we want to help others too,” Ian says.

Because you give, so many West Texas families just like Ian, Kristi and their boys, can access the healthy food needed to thrive, which means a healthier, happier West Texas for us all.

“Thank you for being here,” Kristi says to donors like you. “Every little bit helps when you’re trying to rebuild your life.”
