Critics warn cuts to Snap program would throw millions of Americans – such as Jade and her daughter Janai – back into food insecurity
Jade Johnson has a word to describe the experience of going hungry in one of the world’s richest countries. “Humbling.”
The last time she endured the misery of skipping meals was about 18 months ago. She was working two jobs as a home health aide and in childcare, but after paying the rent and bills she still didn’t have enough to feed herself and her young daughter Janai.
