“Crossing borders to lend a hand and spread some love with @thisisabouthumanity . It was an incredibly moving experience to spend time with these amazing kids living in shelters. Their resilience and spirit touched my heart deeply. With my own kids by my side, we came together to make delicious meals, cupcakes and passed out backpacks filled with games, stuffed animals and essential supplies. Seeing the smiles on their faces and feeling their gratitude warmed my soul. Thank you @elsamariecollins & @fundaciontijuanasinhambre for all you do!,“ she wrote.
