Faith in Humanity: Valley nonprofit helping kids who struggle to eat

Most families have at least one child who is tough to feed. Whether the kid has allergies or is just plain picky, it can sometimes be a challenge to feed them.

But for some children, eating is nearly impossible. About 15,000 Arizona children with pediatric feeding struggles cannot eat normally because they have life-altering problems with chewing, swallowing or eating.

Feeding Matters, a local nonprofit group, works with experts to develop tools, resources and opportunities for children with pediatric feeding struggles. The group also creates a community for parents struggling to feed their children.

The organization was founded by Shannon Goldwater, who gave birth to premature triplets in 2002. After spending a year going hospital to hospital, she learned her children had a complex problem and would need help.
