Studies show that there is a direct link between child/youth
hunger and child sex trafficking. Parents who are struggling
to feed their families are sometimes forced to make the
unthinkable decision of asking the older children to be on
their own. This situation leaves them homeless and
vulnerable to anyone offering them a place to sleep or a bit
of food to eat. The Atlanta metro area has the highest
volume of human trafficking in the United States and third in
the world.
Our second reason: The medical world recently investigated why such an increase of persons diagnosed with ADD related illnesses. It was revealed that some were misdiagnosed. While the symptoms were in line with the ADD diagnosis, they only mirror the disease. Children who do not receive proper nutrition can develop a similar condition, NDD. Nutritional Deficit Disorder.

Over 25 million Americans aged 60+ are economically insecure—living at or below 250% of the federal poverty level (FPL) ($29,425 per year for a single person). These older adults struggle with rising housing and health care bills, inadequate nutrition, lack of access to transportation, diminished savings, and job loss. For older adults who are above the poverty level, one major adverse life event can change today’s realities into tomorrow’s troubles.
