This is one of those posts that will typically not get a lot of reads.
When I write about topics like poverty, hunger or HIV/AIDS, many tend to
skip the post.
I will keep this post short.
The federal government released poverty numbers this past week.
One in five children in California live in poverty.
One is six children in the US live in poverty.
No matter why you read my blog or why you connect with me personally, I ask you to please consider these numbers.
So much wealth. So much privilege. Yet so many live in poverty.
As fundraisers and people who work with non-profits, we can take action. We can also build bridges with communities whose main mission is not ours, and become
stronger. We can find connections with our work to poverty, to hunger
and to class. In the Los Angeles area, where I live, it is not
difficult to see hard-core class distinction.

Thank you for reading.
