In the food pantry line at Fraternite Notre Dame in the Austin neighborhood, 7-year-old Jada Dunkentell just wanted to practice her gymnastics.
"Do you want to see me do a cartwheel into the splits?" she asked the crowd waiting for boxes of food.
Without waiting for an answer, she bounced down the sidewalk, flipped over, and landed in a patch of grass. She quickly exclaimed, "See! I did it!"
"You did great," said Jada's mother, 44-year-old Jacqueline Dunkentell, who stood nearby in the line. Jacqueline injured her back about a year ago and has not been able to work since. She struggles to afford food and comes to Fraternite Notre Dame, a Greater Chicago Food Depository member agency, once a week.
"This has helped me make ends meet and this keeps my kids from going hungry," she said.
