My grandmother was my biggest hero. Growing up, she always made sure my sisters and I never went without a warm meal rich with cultural foods that gave us the strength to grow into our own selves in a world that wasn't always welcoming.

She used to say, “見人寒冷下衣服、見人肚餓下茶飯” which means “When you see someone cold, warm them with something to wear. When you see someone hungry, feed them with something to eat”- a reminder that a meal meant more than a full belly; it also meant being seen, heard, and loved.

As an ode to the incredible person Po Po was, it is my honor to continue her legacy of always lending a helping hand to those in need.

Join me in supporting Heart of Dinner’s mission to address food insecurity, social isolation, and loneliness among Asian American elders across NYC.

Heart of Dinner hand-delivers 800 culturally thoughtful care packages every week to elders who experience profound challenges due to food insecurity and isolation. Each care package is designed to nourish both body and spirit, including:

💌 Handwritten notes in the elders’ native language, offering culturally nuanced comfort and connection.

🎨 Hand-decorated bags adorned with uplifting artwork to bring warmth and joy.

🍱 Nutrient-dense meals sourced from local small businesses.

1 in 3 Asian elders in NYC lives below the poverty line, and many face barriers that neglect their foundational needs, leaving them unseen and alone. Your support helps Heart of Dinner reduce food insecurity, foster connection, and show our elders they are cherished.

Even a small donation can help provide vital meals and emotional support. Together, we can create a ripple effect of love and care. Please join me in celebrating my 30th birthday by uplifting our beloved elders today.
