In Willis, Texas, two brothers, Dylan Kyle-Sears, 22, and Rylan Sears, 16, are significantly impacting their community with their Helping Hand Stand. Situated on their property at Rylan's Farm on Trero Lane, the stand provides complimentary food, clothing, and household essentials to all who require assistance.
The stand that Rylan constructed on his own boasts a robust wooden frame, blue tarp walls, and a metal roof. Filled with donated items like nonperishable food, clothing, toys, blankets, and even furniture, it has turned into a crucial support system for numerous families facing difficulties in the area.
“During my childhood, I frequently depended on stands like these to make ends meet,” Dylan shared. Having been adopted by the Sears family during his childhood, he now views the Helping Hand Stand as an opportunity to support others facing similar circumstances. “This is my opportunity to assist others as they assisted me.”
The brothers operate the stand in conjunction with their successful farm, where they sell goats, chickens, turkeys, and various other animals. Dylan holds the position of CEO, and Rylan fulfills the role of CFO, harmonizing their entrepreneurial drive with a commitment to service.
The initiative greatly benefits from community support. Local residents generously donate the items that sustain the stand, and the brothers' Facebook page has attracted attention with the tagline: "Two brothers trying to help the community and make an honest living." Thank you for your assistance.
Dylan and Rylan view the Helping Hand Stand as not just a community initiative, but as a representation of their principles and a demonstration of the impact of compassion.
