 Hello, everyone. This is Ana Ortiz, and I'm here with Fernanda. Hello. Fernanda's story is one everybody should hear. That's why I'm helping to lend my voice. Now, what happened, Fernanda? Well, I'm the wife of a teacher. Recent budget cuts meant there wasn't enough to provide for our three young children, with another on the way. I picked up part-time work, and we did everything we could, but we really struggled to make ends meet. We realized we had to swallow our pride and ask for help. The food bank kept us afloat during some hard times.
