MEETAILEENAileen is 7 years old and lives with her mom, dad and brother inGoleta, California. Her dad is a painter who is typically on the jobsix days a week—from sunup to sundown. However, some dayshe works all day and into the night. “Sometimes when my wholefamily is asleep, my dad is still working,” Aileen says.Despite the sacrifices her dad makes, it’s tough for Aileen’sfamily to afford everything they need. In the past, they had tochoose between paying for the lights, medical expenses andfood. Aileen would ask for a glass of milk, and her dad wouldhave to tell her that she couldn’t have any—knowing that theyjust couldn’t afford it.Thankfully, they don’t have to make as many tough choices .anymore. At Aileen’s school, they receive groceries from a foodpantry served by a Feeding America food bank. The food pantryoffers them healthy food, including Aileen’s favorites—apples,carrots and milk.Aileen’s dad believes that the food pantry is helping him investin a brighter tomorrow for his children. He wants his daughter .to have the chance to graduate college and have a stable career.“Without [the food pantry], I don’t know how we would make it,”he says. “I think the future is going to be better.”Watch Aileen’s story.2017 FEEDING AMERICA ANNUAL REPORT 31 in 6 children inAmerica struggleswith hunger.
