Poverty

13.4 million children in the US (18%) live in poverty according to the 2016 Census Report on Poverty. They are isolated by the violence and crime concentrated in neighborhoods of families with low income or their isolation comes from growing up in rural areas. Hunger, inadequate health care and the lack of safe places to congregate and play is the reality faced by many that are poor in the US.

Homelessness

Children experiencing homelessness are among the most invisible and neglected individuals in our nation. Without a bed to call their own, they have lost safety, privacy, and the comforts of home as well as friends, pets, possessions, reassuring routines and a community.

Their trauma is further exacerbated by being uprooted from family and friends and their stay at the shelter must remain confidential for the safety of all residents.
