IT'S YOUR BEST SHOT

Since I was a teenager I have always wanted to start a charity or foundation to help people in need or less fortunate than me. In December of 2012, my vision was finally set into motion. Growing up, my parents always helped anyone who was in need. Whether in need of a place to stay, food, a ride, or just a listening ear, my parents were there. I saw the joy that it brought to both of them and the people they reached out to. I saw my parents live the life that is talked about in the Bible and I wanted to do the same. Jesus took care of people's needs and we are to pattern our life after His. I wondered how I was going to fund my charity and after talking it over with a friend, we decided just to go out on faith. In December of 2012, It's Your BEST Shot started with the mission of "giving hope and comfort to our fellow man." Our first act of service was giving fruit baskets. We passed out 20 fruit baskets to senior citizens in the community. Their reaction was very touching: they were so thankful for the baskets, but more importantly that someone took time to think about them. I learned that it's not always the big things in life but the small ones that really make a difference. I just hope that God continues blessing It's Your BEST Shot, so we can continue to be of service to others and are able to stay true to our mission of giving. Peace and Love to all,
