Her bravery was matched by her relentless effort to save her children from hunger. She would do anything to give her children a different future. They had experienced so much struggle…   Loss of livelihood: After four consecutive dry seasons, Amina’s family lost all of their livestock to the drought – 50 cows and 30 goats. Unbearable hunger: “We ran out of water and pasture. Sometimes my children go to bed hungry as I have nothing to give them… we don’t even know what our next meal is going to be and when we will have it,” Amina told us. A hard life: “I came here so my children can have a better life,” she says.   Hunger is complex. Not just one issue causes starvation. In Somalia, years of hardship have pushed more than 7.7 million people to the brink of famine, and child malnutrition is spiking.   [5X MATCH - GIVE NOW](   YEARS OF HARDSHIP IN SOMALIA   Millions pushed to the brink of famine  [Timeline 2018-2020][Timeline 2020-today](   Give during our biggest match of the season with 5X the impact.   [$100]( $500   [$200]( $1,000   [$500]( $2,500   [5X MATCH - GIVE NOW](   Why give?
