Behind 30 Days

Giving During the fall of 2013, Danami had a significant loss of income and faced many challenges to make ends meet. Through that time period, he faced starvation and relied on Food Shelves for support. After overcoming several adversities, Danami has since achieved great success and has been inspired to help others who may be in similar situations or in need of food. He wants to give back to community organizations who serve those in need.
