Hello, my name is Danielle Marie. I’m raising grocery gift card funds to help American children here in the East County of California during this government shutdown. American children are doing without food and we need to help. Please open your hearts right now and help give the small American children a meal to eat so many parents are seriously struggling right now . These are our American children suffering as well as the no pay to military families, the ones who took an oath to fight for United States of America These families would go to war for us so we need to help them during this government shut down. I will be handing out gift cards to families with small children at the local food bank in Alpine. Please, this is our time when we all need to give a helping hand during this horrible government shutdown. This is not about politics; this is about young children that need to eat. Thank you and God bless.
