36,000,000 people in the United States are living in poverty.
13,000,000 of them are children.

What you might consider to be
"spare change"
could provide life-changing assistance
to one of these people.

"I never look at the masses as my responsibility; I look at the individual. I can only love one person at a time - just one, one, one. So you begin. I began - I picked up one person. Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand. The whole work is only a drop in the ocean. But if I didn't put the drop in, the ocean would be one drop less. The same thing goes for you, the same thing in your family, the same thing in your church, your community. Just begin - one, one, one"
- Mother Theresa .
