Help a Mom of 5 Replace Stolen EBT Benefits

Donation protected
My name is Gina, and I’m a single mom of five with one child being a Type 1 diabetic. For the last three months, someone has stolen my entire $800 EBT food benefit before I ever had a chance to shop for groceries.

What Happened:
• March 2025 (Month 1): Benefits disappeared overnight—no groceries.
• April 2025 (Month 2): Same thing, and I had to borrow from a few limited friends and family.
• May 2025 (Month 3): Again gone—and now I’m facing the impossible choice of feeding my kids or keeping up with rent, utilities, and my car note.

A Special Challenge:
One of my children is diabetic and relies on regular, balanced meals and specific snacks to keep her blood sugar stable. When our food stamps vanish, I can’t afford the fresh fruits, whole grains, or protein she needs—and that puts her at serious risk of dangerous highs and lows.

Why I Need Your Help:
Without these benefits, feeding five little ones is EXTREMELY difficult—and for my diabetic daughter, it’s downright dangerous. I’m asking you to help me raise:
• $2,400 to replace three months of stolen benefits
• $600 more for diapers, baby formula, and emergency needs next month

No gift is too small—every $5, $10, or $25 helps keep food on our table and keeps my daughter’s blood sugar where it needs to be. If you can’t give, sharing this link means the world to us.
