Thank you Marissa! Let’s seriously plan to get together – maybe find a place in between you and I?

Thanks Diedre! I can imagine your eyes have been opened to so much. If there is an organization that you feel is really helpful – please share and I will spread the word about them!

As a school counselor, we help families who are homeless with a variety of resources. It has shed some light on poverty and opened my eyes in a different way. I realized that I had some judgement preconceived notions about poverty. Great post!

Wow Brianna, thank you for sharing! I’m sorry you went through that and glad to hear that is over. I hope my article didn’t sound judgmental – I didn’t mean that at all! Thank you so much again for sharing.

I’m not in the same area as you, but our small group at church helps provide meals for a homeless shelter once a month.

There are so many reasons this happens…right here in America. For our family it stemmed from my husband having a difficult year of health and not being able to work. I thankfully ended up well for us, but it was all God’s amazing grace, love and care. It certainly stretched our faith.

Instead of judging I have chosen to always give something. We NEVER know the whole story. Even if we think we do.
