She didn't just notice she's out of bread and eggs. She's been watching her ration of both slowly dwindle, using as little of either to make both last as long as possible. She's not just worried about breakfast, but lunch and supper as well. #ProtectSNAP
A mom opens her fridge & notices she has no more bread and eggs for her children. She wonders how she’ll tell her kids that they have to skip breakfast as their stomachs grumble.
That's the reality for 20 million poor families w/ kids. It’s why we must #ProtectSNAP!

I wrote a heartbreaking poem about this almost 20 years ago. It was about a memory I had of my mom checking the amount of eggs every night. Sometimes, it’s all we had to eat.
