THE PROPOSAL

When all requests and ideas were voiced, The new businesses were discussed.

Brent seized the opportunity at that moment to make his suggestion to the board before the conclusion of the meeting.

"Mom, you should come in here quite nicely, we all know the people in Little Rock are our people and there are many homeless that need food, clothes, and shelter. We have a vacant plot of land that is available, it is not huge enough to build another factory but it could be used to be a tremendous blessing to our community."

We could take it upon ourselves to build a place to help house these homeless and clean up the streets. I know at first it will be a non-profitable organization, but as time goes by it will improve and pay itself. The burden won't be heavy if we invite other companies to liaise with us to help our people."

Hearing Brent's words Elliot knew he was a kind-hearted, boss but isn't this going a bit too far? According to Roland and Jason today he went and give a hearty donation to the soup kitchen.

"Sir, if we do that, we will be encouraging people to be lazy and continue begging."

"I agree with you Elliot, at first, I thought the same way but then after seriously considering this project. I realized not everyone will be like that, some of those homeless people just want a slight push to bounce back as normal working-class people.

The workers and board members of Larson Factory could be the medium to improve our community."

Taking a deep breath Brent didn't hold back and said with confidence, "Now listen up, we could employ someone with a passion for the needy. I can say it won't be easy because it's our first attempt and it will have some hiccups, but I know we can help some families and be a great blessing.

We could train the adults from each family to obtain a skill to improve their lifestyle. We could even employ a few of them, Mom, you do Seminars and knows others who can assist with training.

From the recent report I received, many companies are going into bankruptcy, but God has been good to us and I see growth in our company. I believe it is time we give back to show we are grateful for the many blessing."

Brent notices the eyebrows raised by a few board members, while others had questionable look and their eyebrows furrowed.

He knew that he had piqued their interest and that was the reaction he wanted. He recalled how Jessyminthia was crying as she express her heartfelt desire, piquing his interest. He ignores all those who seem uninterested, all he wanted was to fulfil her dreams and desires with all his heart.

When Assistant Director, Elliot responds, "You are so right Sir, the news recently of the many businesses going bankrupt, has crippled many businesses. We must truly say our heads are above water. I will give you whatever support is necessary to improve this town."
