Without you, kids like Sean will go to school hungry.
Empty tummies make for tough days at school. And even tougher days ahead.
Kate still remembers the words that broke her heart.
It was breakfast time. But there wasn’t enough food to go round. That’s when her eight-year-old son, Sean, said:
“You eat it, mum. I’m not hungry.”
But she knew he was. They both were.
Single mum Kate is doing everything she can to get by on a small carer’s pension. But it just isn’t enough. Her family is struggling.
Sometimes there isn’t even enough food to fill Sean’s lunch box for school. And she’s desperately worried about him.
Being hungry at school means Sean doesn’t have the energy to concentrate. That makes learning hard. Every day, he’s at risk of falling further and further behind his classmates.
But you can help change that.
Please give generously today to help make sure kids like Sean go to school with tummies full of breakfast, and a lunch box full of nourishing food to help them learn and thrive.
