Dear John,
|
|
Joey, short for Josephine, is only 8. But she’s already a force to be reckoned with.
|
|
She says blue is her favorite color. Why?
|
|
“Because my brother tells me that blue is only a boys' color. And I can tell him that it's really a girls' color, too.”
|
|
Joey’s a spitfire alright, but sometimes she struggles to keep her fire burning in the classroom.
|
|
Before she got breakfast at school, Joey often came to school hungry.
|
|
“I would feel sick, and I wouldn’t feel very good and it was hard for me to pay attention,” she told us.
|
|
On those days, “I didn't really do anything. I just sat at my desk and had my head down.”
|
|
Thanks to you, this bright second grader has a shot at a better future. It’s the difference school breakfast makes — the difference you make as someone who cares about helping hungry kids!
|
|
Hunger robs children of their childhood. And it threatens their futures as well, because hungry kids are more likely to struggle at school.
|
|
Thanks to your generosity, No Kid Hungry provided a grant and expert guidance to help Joey’s school start serving breakfast in the classroom. And for Joey, that made a world of difference.
|
|
“When I eat breakfast, I feel good, and I listen, and I do good,” she says. “And I have enough energy to play with my friends and have fun for the day.”
|
|
Breaking the cycle of hunger begins with breakfast. And in Joey’s case, it’s a breakfast you helped make possible!
|
|
Thank you so much for all you do to make sure kids don’t miss out on the meals they need to thrive.
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
