    This article gives some frightening facts about homlessness. It also, though gives some hope. It's a blog that focuses on Poverty, Homelessness and hunger.

    Although it's sad, it's good to now that there are people out there who are willing to spread the word about poverty. The people who are finding solutions to poverty are angels.

    These pictures made me hopeful. Generous souls are helping these people, and perhaps their lives can be better because of their support (:

    I like the photoset called listening. I think that to truly understand and educate ourselves about poverty, we have to first listen to the needs of those who are living with it. Very interesting picture.

    At first I thought that this man's story was amazing, but as his real story developed, I was disgusted by this story. Turns out that he was a drug addict and that he has (still is) physically abused his daughter, lying to her, saying that he was sober when really he was slobbering drunk. Now he is going to rehab. Guys, rehab isn't free. Who's paying for that? Some person who felt generous. Well, why is it that the people who have chosen to throw their lives away get all this support? What about the people who are pure? While this man gets attention for being a drug addict, people are STILL starving on the streets. Juss' sayin.
  • Chesser G on 13 Jan 11
     
    shelby, the guy overcame homelessness and poverty and has pratically turned his life around. Rehab will help the guy to become a better person. I think his story is pretty remarkable
  • Kelly S on 13 Jan 11
     
    He a drug addict. He can't pay for it so someone elso is paying for his rehab when that money can go to the streets were familys need it most.
  • Teets S on 14 Jan 11
     
    I would disagree; other people turned his life around for him. Do you really think that if he didn't have rehab PAYED FOR HIM he would have sought help for his addiction? He wouldn't have told anybody :/ Sure, it's awesome that he was found on the street, and that HIS life is better, but there are STILL people who I believe deserve help more than him. It makes me sick that all the corrupt people are the ones who get all the attention, when the pure are left to fend for themselves.
  • Costello R on 14 Jan 11
     
    I like this article it is very interesting about how he was homeless one day and then in 3 days he's now rich and has a house. so i think what they are trying to say is that not all homeless people are non talented school drop outs. they are trying to say that some are very talented and might have messed up in life.

    The website is about what has lead us to poverty and what still is. It seems like from the website that people in the west take advantage of poorer regions because the resources are cheaper. I find that very selfish. I was also very suprised too see that the main problem were the policies of international institutions.

    This article tells about how poverty in india hits evben harder thatn in america, here poverty could be at a job for 7 dollars an hour, but in india 25% of their population makes less than a dollar a day. 25% is a lot, becuase mostly the naion is over populated with people that take up most of the jobs. So in india they have somthing known as the "slums" kind of like a ghetto that we have here in the states, but people there live in poor poor living condtions, without running water, no flushing toilet, and no bath the poverty here would look like luxrury there.

    this was about death rate with people in poverty. it really surprised me that poverty would make you less willing to kill yourself. I would think that it would because you dont have anything.
  • Omar H on 14 Jan 11
     
    I agree with Marley. I also found it shocking that death rates are higher in cities were the gap between poor and rich is wide. You would think it would be higher if the gap between poor and rich wasnt wide. The article states that its like that because "a generally undesirable social climate that's inherently more stressful."
  • Korn G on 14 Jan 11
     
    The information in this article was crazy. Cities with a wide gap between the rich and poor have higher death rates.

    It is extremly eye openeing learning that 1 in 8 americans are on food stamps, i never knew poverty was climbing so quickly. if i had to go to walmart at midnight for food because i've been waiting a week for it, i would be depressed. and it isn't fair that these people only get half of what we spend, but still make it last a week longer than the avarage american would have.
  • Magnuson A on 13 Jan 11
     
    I found it terrible that it was really hard to find help from food pantries when people were starving. It would be so much better if the food pantries could be easier for these starving people to get access to

    Thye decision to cut Philadelphia's food pantry, is cutting on human lives. People who are in poverty are starving in Philadelphia, and whithout people alive in Philadelphia, then what, or where is Philadelphia?!
