I was commissioned by TIME to illustrate an article about the pervasive challenges poor people face, as well as the sacrifices children also have to endure.
The author Stephanie Land reflects on her experiences using food stamps seven years ago as a college student, feeling ashamed and judged when buying treats for her child. Land's new book portrays her struggles as a single mother striving for resources, education, and moments of joy for her child while facing the hardships of poverty.
A huge thanks to AD Victor Williams.
