caused riots to start throughout America. Not only were riots a major factor in 1950 but also racial profiling and the difference in income between ethnic backgrounds. Although we are not living in the 1950s it is clear that history seems to be repeating itself. There are clear similarities between the riots in 1950, racial profiling, as well as difference in income between African Americans and Caucasians as compared to present day. These things are still a problem in 2015 and in order to fix…

Children in poverty face many daily hardships including judgement from their peers, health problems, low self-esteem, and hunger. Having a below average income seems to hold a direct correlation between all of them.

It was devastating news to my husband since I was earning a huge bulk of our household income. For years, I researched how to make money from home because I didn 't want to go back to work once my son was born. Although I lost money in the process of staying off work, I experienced a certain peace of mind that I did not get from commuting to…

Assistance Program benefits (SNAP, formally known as food stamps) along with bread and eggs, monthly.
