@itsmeleighton : On #SingleParentDay, I’m proud to support organizations like @feedingamerica who help single parents when times are tough. Visit www.feedingamerica.org to learn ways you can help families struggling with hunger and food insecurity. —After DeAdra and her son Dacian moved across the country to leave a tough situation behind, DeAdra noticed Dacian wasn't keeping up with his peers. He wasn't very talkative. The doctor diagnosed Dacian with autism. DeAdra changed her life entirely to put her son first. She committed to caring for him full-time, which meant she had to pause getting a job in her new hometown. With no income, she turned to a local food pantry and @feedingtampabay to make sure Dacian had nutritious food, vital to his development. “The healthy food we receive has helped Dacian socially and with his speech. I see this kid emerging that I never thought I’d see. And now that chance is really there for him.” DeAdra hopes that in a year or so she’ll be able to get Dacian into a public preschool for kids with similar challenges. And once that happens, she can find a job. In the meantime, DeAdra's love for her son keeps them going. “Dacian has been my strength. Him and I, we’re a great team.” DeAdra is one of the 3.1 million single moms facing hunger in America. #SingleParentDay
