Your support is easing the pressure <\/span>for working parents like Eva <\/h1> <\/div>
\"\" <\/div> <\/div> <\/section>

Eva and her young daughter Rosie seem to live a happy life. Eva works, Rosie goes to school, and they treasure their time together. But behind the smiles is a constant struggle. <\/h4>

As a single mum on a low income, Eva battles stress and anxiety trying to give her daughter the life she never had.\r <\/p>

Her income and parenting payments just cover the basics. Rent and bills are paid with careful budgeting, but food is a constant worry. Eva grew up in a home where meals were often skipped, and she vowed Rosie would never go without. But with rising costs, she sometimes has to send Rosie to school with an empty lunchbox, and it breaks her heart.\r <\/p>

Filled with anxiety Eva would carefully select the items she needed in her shopping trolley, but often she would have to put things back once she got to the supermarket check-out.\r <\/p>

\u201cIt made me feel so bad, it was horrible. I felt so ashamed every time I went to the check-out to find that I couldn\u2019t afford everything I needed.\u201d Eva recalls. \u201cEventually, I started using a calculator as I shopped, just to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to pay.\u201d\r <\/p>

Finding Foodbank was a huge relief for Eva. \u201cShopping at the Food Hub has made such a difference. It\u2019s eased the stress of choosing between bills and groceries. I know I can get free and affordable food and make healthy meals for my daughter. For the first time in a long time, I don\u2019t feel ashamed at the check-out.\u201d\r <\/p>

Thanks to you, Eva and little Rosie have access to healthy food and can sometimes even share a meal with her mum who is also doing it tough. The need for support continues to grow. Families like Eva\u2019s are under enormous pressure and relying on your continued generosity. Thank you for your support.\r <\/p>

Help us get more vital food to vulnerable South Australians and Territorians in need. For every $1 donated we can distribute 2 meals to someone in need. <\/p>
