Over 600,000 Texans have lost SNAP benefits due to new work requirements, leaving families like Marta’s (raising five grandchildren) and Karen’s (caring for her late daughter’s child) scrambling.

Upcoming federal funding cuts could cost Texas billions, deepening the crisis. This isn’t charity — it’s emergency survival.
