I would like to nominate my cousin Radica Bagan. Her parents die when she was a teenage and left her alone with no support. I too was a ten and migrated so I could not help. She has medical problems but plants a small garden with seasonings, lettuce and patchoi to sell in the market on Sunday mornings to earn a living. She does not have a food card because she wants to earn her own keep. I help out financially when I can. Everytime I visit she always prepares a small basket with her produce from her garden. I never want to accept it because I know its how she earns a living. But she insists and I can't refuse. I nominate her because she is caring and giving. She does not have much but she shares whatever little she has and I find that truly humbling and sometimes make me cry. I would love to brighten up her Christmas by buying her groceries for Christmas so she can have a great holiday feast. She deserves to win because of her giving spirit and always willing to help. She does not have much but she shares the little she has. A kitchen filled with groceries would make her happy because she would have supplies for a while and for her two best friends, her dogs, whom she spends more money on buying dog food than on herself. Her selflessness is amazing. I would love to make her happy by providing her with the security of food.
