Jazmin is a sweetheart! They were one of the families that we gave a food basket to during the the service trip. We also spent an afternoon with her, along with taking her family to lunch one afternoon. It was probably the first time they had been in a restaurant - and there was no wasted food! Jazmin would like to have the chance at continuing her education!
