In the midst of Thanksgiving preparations and the promise of warmer weather, a different kind of struggle unfolds in Brownsville, Texas. According to reports, the Volunteers of America, operating a home in Brownsville, is in dire need of assistance. The home, a refuge for the unfortunate, relies on the kindness of hunters who have gone over their limit of ducks and geese. Those who have a little extra venison to spare are being asked to donate to this worthy cause. The residents of the home, dependent on its daily bread, will be eternally grateful for any largess bestowed upon them. It’s a sobering reminder that not everyone in Brownsville will be sitting down to a bountiful feast this Thanksgiving.
