Childhood poverty is traumatic

[Savvir]

some of yall experienced poverty....

some of yall just had financial situations where everything was tight...

there is a MAJOR difference...

not getting the toys you wanted isn't poverty....

having to eat off brand food isn't poverty....

having to regularly skip meals is poverty....

experiencing evictions and section 8 is poverty....

I think the loss of innocence is the worst.

The very jaded, cynical and general gloom that i see kids at the places i work is painful to experience.

They dont deserve thier circumstances and deserve to have the basics
