It’s crazy to think about the things we have that are so normal, we end up taking them for granted. It’s second nature for us to open the refrigerator when we’re hungry, and have an array of food options.
That’s what Amanda Perez thought until she went to work last week.
The young mother is an in-home nurse, and she cares for people with all sorts of conditions and needs. But on this particular day, her client had asked her to help by cleaning his refrigerator.
She opened it to find the most heartbreaking view she had ever seen:

In a post she later shared on Facebook, Amanda writes:
“I have never felt so ungrateful in my life as I have today. Someone once told me, it doesn’t matter what you have now because as a human you’ll always have the mindset that it’s not enough and you need or want more.”
Upon seeing the lack of groceries this man had in his house, she turned and asked him who buys his food.
