So, thanks for this article, it made me think about this problem, it is really big problem, there are so many people who live in poverty and we must help them. And I want to say, that the quotes are great!

I love the quote from Harry Kemp…one of my favorites actually.

I like how you pointed out that poverty was not necessarily a lack of things. You can have a lot of things and be flat broke. Likewise there are a lot of factors that give the illusion of someone being better off than they are. The old saying “never judge a book by its cover” really fits here, as you can’t judge if a person is poor or not until you look at the numbers. After all it _is_ amazing what you can find at yard sales.

Beautiful sharing. Wonderfully thoughtful piece. Really made me appreciate what I have and where I’m at, while at the same time reminding me there is no shame in poverty or doing without.

Thanks for sharing.

Beautifully said, Coffeesister.
We’re all under the blanket together. I wish more people realized that. I know you do.

That quote about the working poor is a hearbreaker.
