Robin Emmons felt helpless as her older brother lived on the streets, eating out of garbage cans.She tried repeatedly to get him help for his mental illness, but authorities told her there was nothing they could do.After he was arrested in 2008 for damaging someone's car during a outburst, she was finally able to become his legal guardian and get him into a halfway house with psychiatric services. She watched him kinda improving.She investigated and found out that the nonprofit facility was mainly feeding him packaged and canned foods because it couldn't afford fresh fruits and vegetables."I had a small garden, so I thought, 'Well, I'll just put in some extra rows,' " Emmons said.

she turned it into a garden and is growing fresh crops for 

people in need.
