Cuando una familia se enfrenta a una pobreza debilitante, no hay tiempo para las cosas corrientes de la infancia, como pasar una tarde construyendo imaginaci\u00f3n y v\u00ednculos familiares con Legos.<\/p>\n<p>Una de nuestras madres lleg\u00f3 a Houston a principios de a\u00f1o con sus tres hijos y la ropa que llevaban puesta.  Estaba reiniciando su vida y necesitaba ayuda despu\u00e9s de trasladarse a Texas.  Su vecina la llev\u00f3 a Kids' Meals cuando la vio \"mudarse\" sin absolutamente nada.  Esta joven madre estaba tan preocupada por si sus hijos tendr\u00edan comida (tres ni\u00f1os de 4, 5 y 15 a\u00f1os).  Llor\u00f3 en nuestro vest\u00edbulo mientras intentaba resolver los problemas b\u00e1sicos de la vida y encontrar un camino para ella y su familia.  El estr\u00e9s se apoder\u00f3 de ella.  Nos enteramos de que todos dorm\u00edan en el suelo de su apartamento y que, literalmente, no ten\u00edan nada m\u00e1s.<\/p>\n<p>Inmediatamente le pedimos que se inscribiera en nuestro programa de entrega de comidas saludables para que sus hijos recibieran una comida sana diaria gratuita y bolsas de comida semanales llenas de productos frescos, pan, arroz, jud\u00edas, mantequilla de cacahuete, pasta y mucho m\u00e1s.  En poco tiempo, la pusimos en contacto con otros recursos y con incre\u00edbles \u00e1ngeles donantes que compartieron con ella ropa, material para la vuelta al cole, ropa de cama, toallas, art\u00edculos b\u00e1sicos para el hogar, camas, un sof\u00e1 y mucho m\u00e1s.  Una voluntaria (nuestra copresidenta de la subasta del almuerzo de la cosecha) nos puso en contacto con Small Steps Learning Center, que acept\u00f3 a la ni\u00f1a de 4 a\u00f1os en su programa preescolar.  Este mismo voluntario don\u00f3 cajas de libros, figuras de acci\u00f3n, legos apenas tocados y mucho m\u00e1s.  Cuando el peque\u00f1o empez\u00f3 a ir al colegio, la madre pudo empezar a trabajar como asistenta sanitaria a domicilio.  Unas semanas m\u00e1s tarde acept\u00f3 un segundo trabajo como conserje a tiempo parcial.<\/p>\n<p>Poco a poco, la sonrisa volvi\u00f3 a su rostro.  Se sent\u00eda orgullosa de s\u00ed misma y de su familia que se fortalec\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>No hay palabras para lo incre\u00edble que fue recibir una foto y notas de agradecimiento de la familia hace unas semanas con un mont\u00f3n de creaciones de Lego, incluido este maravilloso caza X-Wing de Star Wars que crearon durante un fin de semana.  Ustedes, nuestros maravillosos donantes y defensores, hicieron posible que esta familia se estabilizara y estuviera en un lugar donde hab\u00eda tiempo y energ\u00eda para estar juntos como una familia construyendo Legos.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may see a Star Wars X-Wing Fighter in this picture, but we see a symbol of hope!\u00a0 When a family is facing debilitating poverty, there is no time for the ordinary stuff of childhood, like spending an afternoon building imaginations and family connections with Legos.
