<\/span>The magic of the<br \/>\nseason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">His name is Javier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">I looked out the window<br \/>\nand saw a vehicle pulled into the last spot of the street with trunk open.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>This usually indicates <i>INCOMING<\/i>.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>Normally, incoming donation for the Little<br \/>\nYellow Food Pantry.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>Sometimes,

style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">But today, I was not sure\u2026<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>Instead of bringing the bags that he pulled out<br \/>\nof the car to the porch for donation, he was going straight to the pantry.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>I reassessed \u2013 maybe this was someone who<br \/>\nneeded food, not someone giving food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">I went out to say hello and<br \/>\nwas greeted with the biggest smile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">\u201cThis is your box??\u201d he<br \/>\nasked, pointing to the Little Yellow Free Pantry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size:

<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I do not need food.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I <\/span><i style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">GIVE FOOD<\/i><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">And that was the start of<br \/>\nan hour-long conversation, and the beginning of a new friendship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">Javier is an immigrant.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He came to the USA from Honduras, alone, 18<br \/>\nmonths ago.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>And for the first 6 of those<br \/>\nmonths, his food came from a Little Free Pantry, one that was located outside<br \/>\nthe Central Library in Arlington, Virginia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">As Javier told us his story,<br \/>\nhe expressed his gratitude over and over.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<br \/>\n<\/span>Gratitude for the country.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>For the<br \/>\nfood.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>For the people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">When he first arrived and got<br \/>\na job, he kept $1 of his earnings.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cOne<br \/>\ndollar,\u201d he said, \u201cOne dollar.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>In<br \/>\nAmerica. <span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<\/span>What food can be gotten with<br \/>\none dollar?\u201d.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>The rest of the money he sent<br \/>\nhome to his wife and children, his mother, and used to pay part of the rent for<br \/>\na tiny space he was sharing with another immigrant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">But, like so many who make<br \/>\ntheir way to this country, he was resourceful.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<br \/>\n<\/span>And strong.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>And determined.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">He got a bicycle.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He got more work.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He got his driver\u2019s license.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He saved and got a car.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>And he got <i>more jobs<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">He went to university back<br \/>\nhome.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He had a very good job in his<br \/>\ncountry.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>But now here, here in the land<br \/>\nof the free, he wakes up at 3:30 am to begin his days.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He studies English on an app.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He reads a book.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He eats his meal.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>Then he begins one of four jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">They are jobs that some<br \/>\nwould say are \u201cbeneath him\u201d, but he works hard.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<br \/>\n<\/span>He saves.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He sends money home,<br \/>\neven to support a cancer charity because his mother has breast cancer.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">And he is thriving<br \/>\nhere.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">Javier spent <i>every dime<\/i><br \/>\nhe had made today to buy food for others, strangers.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He didn\u2019t know <u>where<\/u> he would donate<br \/>\nit \u2013 the pantry he used to frequent has been moved to a new location and he<br \/>\ndidn\u2019t know where it was.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He searched<br \/>\nonline and found us \u2013 the Little Yellow Free Pantry.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>So, without ever meeting us, without having<br \/>\nbenefited from our services, he came to give back.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>Give back to the country and the people who<br \/>\nare giving him a new life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">We talked for quite a<br \/>\nwhile outside but it was cold, so David invited him in.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>We sat at our messy kitchen table and learned<br \/>\nmore about his life.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>His 3 sons.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>His wife.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<br \/>\n<\/span>We got to meet his wife when he video chatted her to introduce us.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>I couldn\u2019t help but notice \u201cmi amor\u201d was<br \/>\nwritten across the screen as her ID in his phone.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">We met his mother.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He video chatted her and interpreted for us.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>I told him to please explain to her how<br \/>\ngrateful we were for his donations, and that she raised a very kind man.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">Someone had donated<br \/>\npumpkin pies, and we had one left in the fridge.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>I offered it to him even before I heard his<br \/>\nstory and he had accepted with a smile.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>As<br \/>\nwe talked, he said that last year was his first Thanksgiving in his new<br \/>\ncountry.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He had eaten pumpkin pie and<br \/>\nremembered it fondly.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>But this year, he<br \/>\nhad told his wife earlier today, no pumpkin pie.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>And then magically \u2013 PUMPKIN PIE.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:
