ANNIE’S FAMILY HAS HOPE

BECAUSE OF YOU, ANNIE’S FAMILY HAS HOPE   

Just a few months ago, we introduced you to Annie, a devoted mum doing everything she can to care for her three children. 

Her son Jordan lives with a serious, life-threatening liver condition, and doctors have told Annie that one of the best ways to slow the progression of his illness is through a diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables. 

But like so many families facing the cost-of-living crisis, buying enough fresh produce each week simply wasn’t possible. 

Thanks to your generosity, Annie continues to visit her local Foodbank Food Hub each week, where she can access the fresh fruit and vegetables Jordan depends on. 

“Without Foodbank, I don’t know how we would manage each week,” Annie says. 

“Fresh fruit and vegetables have become medicine for Jordan. Being able to bring them home each week means I can prepare the meals he needs to give him the best chance.” 

Your support has done far more than fill an empty pantry. 

It has eased the constant pressure of impossible choices, allowing Annie to focus on what matters most, caring for her family. 

“When I can bring home fresh produce from Foodbank, it’s a huge relief,” Annie says. “It reminds me that there are people who care and that we’re not alone in this.” 

Because of compassionate supporters like you, Foodbank can continue providing fresh food and essential groceries to more than 152,000 people every month across South Australia and the Northern Territory. 

On behalf of Annie, Jordan and the thousands of families whose lives you’ve touched this year, thank you. Your kindness is helping turn impossible choices into hope, one meal at a time.
