Poverty In America

Poverty is in issue for youth in America today because their parents are having a hard keeping or finding a good job.  It isn't because their parents aren't trying it's usually because something happened like illness that caused them to loose their job and thus they had to pay for health care and couldn't get another job.  This issue is a hard issue to face in a classroom.  I would probably try my best to help supply the student the best to my capability with school supplies and other things they would need for school.  I would set-up a food drive in the school to help supply the local soup kitchen or food pantry.  If the issue why they are in poverty is because of some illness in the family it would be helpful for them if the school held a fundraiser to help them fit the needs.
