Economic Impact on the Vulnerable

While 2009 has brought the worse economic impact since the 1930′s and we all have experienced it in different ways, whether that’s struggling to pay our rent or mortgage, fear of job loss, possibly closing the doors to small businesses, or dwindling retirement accounts, there are persons that could least afford this most of all – those in extreme poverty.

Maybe it’s been a bad year for you, for me; but it’s been worse for those far less fortunate because they never had jobs to lose or enough food to feed their families.

While the poor will always be with us, let’s not let that become a mantra of acceptance or excuse to do little or next to nothing.  To ignore the poor and their great need only exposes the depth of our own inner poverty.
