I'll be wandering around the internet for a few weeks more commenting on blogs as my way of saying thank you! You're right, I have experienced this kind of culture and it's not only not knowing where to turn to get out of it; it's also the desperation of taking pride in their conditions that makes it so difficult to fight. Poverty in its most horrible and degrading conditions exists everywhere, even right under our own noses. I fight it every day by providing human and cultural capital as my full-time job; but each of us can fight it, if only two minutes a week, by reaching out to those closest to us. Thank you again for a wonderful post! Dear Cory,

While I try to be as charitable and philanthropic as possible, what I suggest was something someone else did. I was at the market the other day and was growing increasingly impatient with the woman in front of me. She was paying with a check (can you IMAGINE!) and having a hard time getting it to go through. I was in a hurry and was tapping my foot, clearly annoyed. After her second credit card was declined, the woman in line behind me shuffled past me and said "why don't you just let me get it this time". She handed the checker her card and paid for a stranger's $180.00 grocery tab. I immediately felt ashamed and embarrassed for how I acted. Once in a while, it takes a random act of kindness from a complete stranger to bring you back down to earth. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Matts last blog post..<a href="http://redsparks.com/playpen/2008/10/15/iou-again/" rel="nofollow">I.O.U.

I didn't know. I also grew up in a poor family, although I didn't know it at the time. We had what we needed. My father died when I was 9 years old, leaving several children for my mom to raise. I appreciate the little things neighbors and church members did to bless our lives. It is important for me now, to help less fortunate children, to be their friend, to encourage and inspire them.

I too, grew up in the same type of poverty that you describe, for yourself. I love that you have suggested, through your missionary experience as an Elder, this to be which lifted you. I too, firmly believe that it has been receiving and accepting the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that has lifted me up, and out of a mediocre life. I now understand, that the greatest action anyone of us can take, is the action to share the gospel. Yes, we all must help those around us, through monetary means. That nearly goes without saying. To teach our brothers and sisters truth, is the greatest power that we can offer them - to change their own lives:-) tDMg Kathryn Skaggs This is a wonderful post.

I know that I have been surprised to discover the needs that exist in my own community that most people I know have no clue about. But it can be difficult to figure out how to become involved and how you can actually contribute. This is an interesting topic.
