A young mom I know applied for SNAP for the first time. She kept her head down the whole time, afraid she’d run into someone she knew. She told me, “I’m working, but I still can’t afford groceries. I don’t know if the problem is me or the system.” When she walked out, her eyes were red. Sometimes the real struggle isn’t money—it’s the shame of needing help. #SNAPLife #PovertyReality #HumanDignity #CostOfLiving
