“SNAP saved my life”
Jennifer shares how the rising cost of living, especially under recent economic pressures, has been devastating for single and widowed mothers. After losing her husband, she relied on SNAP to support herself and her daughter, but found that $150 a month for food was far from sufficient. She described the strain of being unable to afford the food she wants, forced instead to buy only the bare essentials, and emphasized that many families are struggling even more severely as inflation drives up everyday costs.
