Growing up in a large and close-knit family, I discovered my passion for caring for others and offering assistance from a young age. Whether it was helping family members, friends, or even strangers with tasks like carrying groceries, doing housework, delivering newspapers, or shoveling snow, I relished the opportunity to make people’s lives a little easier and see the joy it brought them. Despite our modest means, I found genuine fulfillment in these acts of kindness.
