Sitting down recently during a cold, winter afternoon, Howard Anderson III was reflecting on his first visit to Dallas Life Foundation, a homeless shelter for men, women and children in desperate need of some assistance.
Still an impressionable teenager at the time, Anderson somehow understood the gravity of the situation, and understood the litany of challenges those families had to endure and the emotional toll that it took on their mind, body and spirit. He also understood that it was his duty to step in and help.
“The first time I went to the Dallas Life Foundation I was in the eighth grade and it was for a project for our school,” Anderson said.
