Homelessness

What is like to be homeless?  Homelessness is frequently associated with poverty. While not all children who are poor are homeless, there is a strong link between these two factors.

Unless we have experienced homelessness, it would be very hard to put ourselves on that perspective. After watching the video Poor Kids you can see these families who are experiencing poverty are fighting to not become homeless.

I found an interactive website that lets you make choices if you are experiencing homelessness. It’s a “game” for us, but for others, it could be a life decision making. Feel free to make choices by interacting with the website:
