Marriage Matters Program Provides Needed Support at Drive-Thru Community Fair

 Miami, FL – By 9:30 a.m. on Friday, April 9th, cars were already lining up around the block to get food boxes and information at the Marriage Matters Drive-Thru Community Fair and Food Distribution Event at the South Dade YMCA.

More than 350 boxes of fresh groceries were given to needy families from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the YMCA, 9355 SW 134th St, Miami, FL 33176. The event organizer, the Marriage Matters program, is one of the newest programs at Be Strong International (BSI).  Marriage Matters is designed to encourage and educate married couples, while enabling them, at every stage, to build and sustain a healthy marriage.

With the help of sponsors and volunteers, BSI not only distributed boxes of fresh food, they also were able to give out free books for children and share information about programs or resources from partners such as Survivors Pathway and Kristi House. “We’re all extremely thankful for BSI continuing to give back to our community by hosting another wonderful event,” says Danielle Cohen Higgin, Miami-Dade County Commissioner for District 8. “We are on the mend, but the need is still great.”

Marriage Matters is seeking couples over the age of 18 that qualify, regardless of race, gender, age, disability, orientation or, religion. The program follows an evidence-based curriculum that has been working for over 40 years.

“Couples may have strained relationships due to job loss, kids at home, and fear about COVID-19,” says Oscar Diaz of BSI’s Marriage Matters Program. “This pandemic is presenting them with challenges they’ve never faced before, and it is easy to get overwhelmed by the constant negativity going on around them. That is why what we have done today is so incredibly important. Spreading positivity and optimism in a time where it’s most needed.”

Partners and donors that made this all possible include Florida state representatives Kevin Chambliss and Vance Aloupis, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins, the Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood Programs, Univision Contigo, the YMCA, Farm Share, Shake Shack. and Miami Dade County.

This Baby Elephant Lost His Family, And Now He's Wreaking Adorable Havoc At Home 

Moyo the child elephant wound up in a repulsive circumstance when he was only a couple of days old. While endeavoring to cross a waterway with his group, the little gentleman escaped with the ebb and flow, which at last left him stranded.

Fortunately for Moyo, a kind lady named Roxy let him move in with her. We should simply say that he's made himself at home.

I've taken in two things from this video. The first is that she's going to require a greater love seat. What's more, the second is that it's difficult to overlook the obvious issue at hand...

What This Woman Live-Tweeted On Her Delayed Flight Is The Stuff Of Legend 

In the event that one thing we all affection to loathe about Twitter, it's the demonstration of live-tweeting. Whether you're similar to me and you live-tweet each and every political occasion under the sun, or you're more inspired by posting's everything Beyonce might do, there's something fulfilling about adding your voice to the blend. Online networking is, all things considered, genuinely about embeddings yourself into circumstances that don't include you in the scarcest, am I right?

However, not all live-tweet sessions are made equivalent. Some course of events spam is better than the rest — something of which Twitter client Kelly Keegs is very much aware. While sitting on a postponed flight one day, her experience went from "I despise my life. Where's my wine?" to "Please let this go on perpetually" in a matter of minutes.

That is on the grounds that she got a front-column seat to a horrendously emotional on-board separation. By, Mr. Right saw a window of chance to say a final farewell to his own one of a kind Mrs. Off-base. Here's the way it went down:
