There are many kinds of people in poverty for various reasons but what most stuck out to me was the single mother. Unknown to me at the time, my life until I was 6 was the life of the poor single parent household. My mom did everything she could to help me and give me the love and attention I needed while sacrificing herself to make enough money to help us survive. She did not do this all on her own though, we have a very supportive extended family and a wonderful group of friends who did everything they could to help us through our difficult time. I'm so proud I have a strong and determined mother who broke our own small poverty cycle. It can be done but often times it is necessary and beneficial to have the gracious help of others. The cycle of poverty is a hard thing to witness and to be apart of but there are ways to break it, it is not by any means easy, but it is possible.
