Need of food

By: Reagan R
Texas, Grade: 7

Dear Diary,

Today we have lost our entire savings. Dad and Mama our nearly sick with worry. We are going to have to sell Celly our cow and possibly our chickens to get enough money to eat.Mama thinks we should keep our livestock and wait, but papasaid we can't afford to wait, and that we are already poor enough as it is. To make matters worse someone came last night and destroyed our shelter. We think it's because they don't like our culture or where we came from. I'm very afraid of the future.
