I keep hearing about Charitable organizations that are collecting presents for kids who "otherwise wouldnt have a Christmas" etc. I was wondering in this day and age what family couldnt afford at least a moderate christmas for their children? There are so many resources out there for low income families w/children (food stamps, low income housing, food pantries, childcare assistance, etc) you would think there is nobody so broke thier kids will have no Christmas- at least not in America.
Anyways, i'm not saying they shouldnt give presents out (It hink its a great program- will probably donate) But I was wondering if it is really possible in America to be that poor.
Thoughts?
