supplies, something I know I get every year. They cant even stay home with their child for a day if the child is sick. They cant afford healthcare or insurance. They have to think twice about spending even a dollar! Vakeyia Dulaney, a girl facing poverty, she said, I feel stressed because of the problems my parents face every day. I am scared to get sick because we cant afford it. We have to think twice about things others buy in seconds. Wow! I would never be able to live like that. Now, I realize how these people feel and what they go through every day.

lately many people have been laid off from the government, school boards, and other big company jobs. Yes, I know that doesnt seem like something that helped improve the poverty line, but besides that the only other thing that the government has done is set up Medicaid, CHIP, and WIC; which are healthcare programs, and one food program. They havent really set up any housing systems. What about us? What can we can we do? Many people said that they can do donations of different kinds. Thats true, many people make donations, but not everyone takes actions, & the ones that do take action can only do so much. They cant supply everyone with only a few donations. Its not as easy as it looks to help. Its done with hard work and unconditional love for others, like those whom have nothing. So, why dont they have what we have? What is the cause of poverty? I believe there are many causes of the high poverty rate. Some of the causes are immigration, education, job cuts, divorces, and people who choose not to work. If I was told to choose the top cause I would be unable to, but if I was told to choose the least likely cause out of these five, it would most likely be education. This is because most people these days are educated. If they arent educated then that is most likely because they chose not to be educated in which case they would fall under the people who chose not to work category. Another reason they wouldnt be educated is because they are immigrants, and were unable to get education. So, I guess its not their fault. Im not saying Im right, but thats what I think. So, as you read there are many people in poverty, there are many causes of poverty, and there is only so little we can do.
