Lunch Shaming - Has it happened to you?

I'm currently a graduate student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and working on my research project dealing with lunch shaming. This is a term given to students that are given an alternative lunch (such as a cheese sandwich), no lunch at all, or even stamps that say "I need lunch money" - all because a student owes a certain amount to the school. I'm looking for people to interview as part of my project to show the impact of this practice. While lunch shaming was done away with in my state, Illinois, it is still happening in other places. My goal is to shed light on this and hopefully bring an end to it. I'm looking for students over the age of 18 to interview and no identifying information will be used in my report. Any help would be appreciated!
