Families like Cheryl’s need you now.
No one should have to choose between food and survival.
“One of my children, Zac ended up very sick in the hospital with organ failure…after giving up everything we possibly could, it was hard. I felt like a failure.”
– Cheryl, mum of three.
Will you help a family like Cheryl’s put food on the table?
After paying rent, bills, and medical expenses, Cheryl can barely afford food. Most days, she and her three kids skip meals just to eat once a day.
“There are times we all agree to skip a meal just to have enough for one decent meal. That’s difficult when you’ve got kids, because they’re hungry, they’re growing.”
Her son Zac has diabetes and needs fresh food to stay healthy, but hunger has already taken its toll.
“The other kids didn’t want to eat to help their brother. But even still, it wasn’t enough. He ended up sick, in ICU for four days with organ failure.”
This winter, thousands of families like Cheryl’s are struggling to eat. With rising costs, food is the first thing to be sacrificed.
Your generosity can change that.
Will you give a gift today to help families like Cheryl’s get the food they need to stay healthy and strong?
*Many of the families visiting a Foodbank Community Partner for food have never needed help before. They often feel ashamed and embarrassed at having to ask for support. To protect their identities, names and details have been changed.
