Miranda, who lives in Queens, New York, works full time.
She lives in a single room, along with her two small children.
Because her wages are meager and housing costs are skyrocketing, she struggles to pay for both food and rent for her family.
Raising kids while working long hours outside of the home is hard enough. We simply can’t imagine also having to worry about putting food on the table. Can you?
The good news for Miranda and tens of thousands like her is that – because of generous donors like you - Hunger Free America is here to help. We helped her apply for WIC (nutrition assistance for Women, Infants, and Children), and when Miranda’s application was originally denied due to a government error, we were able to help her appeal the decision and successfully receive nutrition benefits.
As a Hunger Free America donor, your support has been integral to our vital work helping Miranda and other hungry families during the worst hunger crisis our nation has faced in a generation. We want to sincerely thank you for your commitment to ensuring everyone in our country has access to affordable, nutritious food.
This progress could not be possible without your meaningful contributions to our mission. But as Congress allows these anti-hunger programs to expire, hunger rates -- including child hunger rates -- have once again begun to soar.
As you are thinking of your year-end giving, please consider making a contribution to Hunger Free America. Together, we can end hunger.
