Even though the United States is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, there are many children and families who are facing food insecurity,…
Two years ago, Leo said goodbye to his father before his dad left their home in Texas to visit family in Mexico. Leo was two at the time and life carried on like normal while his father was away. Then, a phone call came that changed everything—Leo’s father had been killed in a crossfire shooting between rival gangs while he was walking down the street in Mexico. Leo’s family was devastated.
In addition to dealing with the grief over losing her husband, Leo’s mom suddenly became the sole provider for her family. They were struggling to cope with their loss all while simply trying to survive. Leo’s mom took a part-time job washing dishes at a local restaurant and takes housecleaning jobs when they arise.
Work is inconsistent and often insufficient to provide enough food to feed four growing boys. Leo often goes to bed hungry.
