PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) – If you went to church with Faye Lawrence, she made sure you got a little treat. The goodie bags were just a small gesture, but they were a part of a big lesson LaShonda Write learned from her mom. Growing up, they didn’t have much as far as money and material things, but Faye taught her family that it’s not about what you have, it’s about what you give that truly matters.

In this week’s I Am Hampton Roads, meet LaShonda and learn how she’s carrying on her mother, Faye’s, legacy of giving back to the community.
