The H-E-B gift cards that they give me food help but toiletries,milk, diapers, and wipes for my almost 4 month old baby now. They've helped pay utilities that I couldn't afford such as lights, phone, Internet, things to help me stay in touch with doctors and other appointments that I need and continue to help me in so many ways.
