Staying Strong and Hopeful

By: Maria R
Maryland, Grade: 5

Hey Diary,
I am ssoo hungry!My family and I barely have enough food for 1 person!!I almost can't work because I'll pass out. But mother and I are the only ones who have jobs. My sistrs can't work and my brother lost his job. So I know that I have to stay strong for my family. My dad can't work because this man attacked him when he tried to get us food. by the time the medics got there he was dead. But I'm hopeful my mother is weak but will get better, my brother will get his job back. The depression will not kill us. We will pull through.
Bye for now,
Maria
