Brayde started volunteering with Hands4Hope a little more than a year ago. He is a 5th grader at a local Elementary School.
Brayden said the Homeless Outreach events are his favorite. "I guess it just makes me feel good to know I am helping other people," he said. "It makes me realize that a lot of people don't have food, clothes, and shelter like I do."
He also said he likes the Homeless Outreach because it's fun. "I like cooking and making food and knowing it's going to a good cause."
When Brayden was asked what volunteering with Hands4Hope has made him realize about his own life, he said it makes him grateful. "We are lucky to do a lot of things like go on vacation, have Birthday parties, read books, and play lacrosse."
He also said it's changed his outlook. "If I want something and I don't get it, I have learned not to feel mad because some people don't have food."
"I try not to ask for too many things or be spoiled. I feel lucky to have food, clothes, and shelter to live in."
Brayden and his family have been great volunteers with Hands4Hope and we are so lucky to have them!
