## Resource

A Virginia Beach woman, Pauline Nelson, is starving as her SNAP benefits plummeted from $112 to $78 a month—and haven’t arrived since May. With a knee injury, diabetes, and ADHD, she didn’t know about new work requirements that stripped her aid. Now, she survives on soup, peanut butter, and oatmeal, her fridge broken and food donations scarce. She’s fighting to get help, even speaking to the governor’s office, but the national $186 billion SNAP funding cut looms over millions like her—highlighting a broken system where hunger isn’t just a problem, it’s a daily reality.
