News ReviewAre you KIDDING me?
"American children who experience homelessness —
a group that includes one child out of every 50 in America,
according to the National Center on Family Homelessness"
Sourced from MSNBC.
Its heart breaking reading that Brehanna has to go through something like this at the age of 9, living inside a tent, homeless. This recession is really hitting hard on a lot of families.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30649003/displaymode/1247/?beginSlide=1&beginChapter=1&beginTab=1# I was naive enough to email msnbc hoping to do something for the family (knowing that msnbc will not respond...what can I do? you can pray...i have been, but you got to take some action as well.. 1/50...Brehanna is one of the many millions out there that Obama would require immediate attention), but at the very least, I have showed my support to Brehanna. (yes...laugh all you want

)
A lot of these innocent homeless kids do not even get the opportunity to access the necessary resource to achieve the goals they only can wish for...and they are homeless. They don't deserve to be homeless! It is only that the choices were not given to them. They are eligible to become a member of the homeless population if the opportunities were given to them, but they abused it. I admit I am somewhat stereotypical. I am glad that there are a number of organizations willing to help this population. Couples can have all the pleasure they want, but it is the children that suffers when a child burdens them.
A lot of us have a tendency to avoid news with sensitive topics as such, because we are living under the world of shame? Why does the homeless population continue to raise when the economy continues to strengthen (back in beginning of 2008)? There are millions of societal issues, but homeless kids is one that must take serious attention. Did not Obama stated in one of his talks that children is the future of the States? He clearly stated in one of his press con. that higher education is the only way out for the citizens of America. It is only through that, the recession diminishes and to slowly revolutionize how businesses are done in America. Let's see how he will live up to his words.
