There is a myth that is very prevalent in this country, and that is that poverty and hunger only exist in other countries.
In fact there is quite a bit of poverty in America, and this includes over 14 million children whose parents can't afford to feed them regularly and can't provide proper clothing, education, or health care.
Unfortunately, many people believe that those who live in poverty are just stupid or lazy.
Do you really think that all of the children living in poverty are stupid and lazy? Even if it was true for their parents, which it isn't, it is absolutely not true about the children.
They are victims of circumstances that are totally beyond their control.
In the current economy, one factory shut-down can cause hundreds of intelligent, hard-working adults to be out of jobs.
Unless another factory of a similar type is hiring, most of those workers are not trained to fill the types of jobs that are available.
The cost of living continues to increase, and people who no longer have employment are hard-pressed to stay afloat.
Soon, homes are foreclosed on and families are out of luck.
Even though the families are struggling together, it is the children who are pushed into poverty who are the innocent victims.
If the cycle continues, and years of unemployment ensue, then the children have little, if any, chance of breaking out to improve things.
With limited education, employment is also limited.
With limited health-care, untreated illness or injury may adversely impact the ability to work.
All of this said, what is a person who truly cares about others to do? The best place to start is by helping the children.
Those who cannot help themselves need the most help from others.
The children who are in poverty can be helped by volunteers working with church or community groups.
Many groups of this type work to alleviate the suffering of the poor children of their communities.
Other charitable organizations have developed to help poverty-stricken children.
They accept tax-deductable donations and use them carefully to give the biggest benefit to the children who need them.
Whether you can donate time, money, or both, the children of America need you.
Yes, there are starving children in Africa, but there may be starving children within a few miles of your home.
Give them the help they need and deserve by locating your favorite charitable institution that helps poor children and donating today.
