Living in a depressed community for the last eight years, Odessa Primus has seen poverty in all forms and witnessed its negative impacts. Not one to sit and wring her hands, she has been assisting the most vulnerable: children and seniors. Recently, with some benevolent assistance, she has been providing 100 children with one meal three days a week.
Primus accepts that this might seem like the idiomatic “drop in the ocean,” but for the many children of Sophia who go to her home three times a week, rain or shine, that hot meal is a boon. Primus hopes to add two additional days and at least provide one meal a day, five days a week. She pointed out that there are 20 children who live in one yard.
Primus wants to see more persons assisting in their communities in whatever way they can.
