December 9th, 2009 by Lee Bradshaw

In late 2008 I (ByHP) was introduced to David Gardener (Care…).  Immediately we knew we wanted to work together. Later in the sping of 2009, it was talked about ByHP working as a DBA under Care…, but as stated, ByHP took on a life of its own. I was literally so busy I forgot to call David, and since I already had a non-profit registered I worked under that 501c3. In september I stopped by to see David ,and gave him an update of my work. I honestly was worried that David would be angry with me for “dropping of the face of the earth”. David looked over the summary, and immediately looked up at me and said, “you’ve been busy”. After further talk, it was decided that David and Care for the Children wanted to shift their focus homeward to our own backyard so to speak. A number of reasons were discussed why. Corruption and the worry that more harm than good was done creating dependency of nations for the food that was given. Also, with the shift in the economy here at home, we have children right here in Utah going to bed hungry. It was decided to appoint me ,(Lee Bradshaw), to the board of Care for the Children ,and to make The ByHP a program within Care for the Children. I will act as direstor of the The ByHP. If a donor came forward and said that he would only make a donation if we helped children in third world countries, we can still accomplish this through David, but my position as director of The ByHP is to gather food and distribute it to families in need right here. I hope this helps decipher who we are and what our goals are. David has already been a great mentor and friend. I look forward to working with and learning from him.
