Oct 02, 2020 by apost team

A woman from Missouri who lost 11 family members to the coronavirus pandemic has shown acts of humanity by donating food worth hundreds of dollars.

Shana Jones understands what it means to lose family members. In fact, only a few people can come close to understanding the misery and suffering that the woman has experienced in the past few months. The only thing that is certain is that it must have been the lowest months of her life.

The woman's name is Shana Jones and she is one of the people worst hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Having lost 11 people to the virus, it is hard for anyone outside her family members and friends to imagine what she was going through.

Even more tragic is the fact that the deaths occurred in a span of two weeks, which means that she was devastated. Moreover, the deaths came at a time when she anticipated quite the opposite, according to CNN. This is because they occurred a week before and a week after her birthday.

Although Shana has had to endure too much suffering due to the coronavirus related deaths, she is determined to ensure that she can overcome the heartbreak by helping others who are in need.

When speaking to KRQE about her charity work, Shana acknowledged that she knew so many people are yet to return to full-time work, which means that they are experiencing financial constraints. She reveals that her charity work is based on the fact that most of these people are struggling since they cannot work full time to provide for their families.

Knowing that many people were struggling due to the economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, Shana decided to set up tables in front of her yard. She is determined to donate essential items such as canned food, toiletries, pet treats, and cleaning supplies to the less fortunate in her community.

Virtually every day, Shana fills her tables with 'Grab-N-Go' free items that anyone who needs them can pick. The items are available to anybody who requires them. All anyone needs to do is drive by her house and pick whatever supplies he or she needs. From the onset of the pandemic, she had donated food and other items to more than 300 families who are in dire need of them each week.

When talking about Shana's passion for donating to those in need, someone close to her said, "When she started putting the table up in her front yard her biggest joy was to see it empty at the end of the day because that meant lots of families had been blessed."
