Description
Illustration shows child huddled on door stoop wearing ragged clothing.
The above image shows the mental and emotional toll poverty has on all those it affects, but especially children. There is also clearly no one reaching out to help the child in the image, which means they are likely having to cope with their situation on their own. The lack of assistance may stem from the public's disdain for poverty and the concepts they associate with poverty.
