Christina and her mother are homeless and have to live in one house with five other families. They don't have money to buy anything. The only thing that they eat is bread and water.
It's not easy being homeless, especially when your a kid. According to Nearly Half of New York City's Homeless are Children,Whyte, Alan. January 7, 2004;New York has the largest number of men, women, and children crowded into little shelter homes. Also according to the city's Department of Homeless Services, the night of January 2 saw 38,222 homeless people forced to turn to city's shelter system.
When you're a kid you still go to school,sometimes. It's not easy going to school with other kids that are not homeless and do have money. According to Homeless Families with Children, National Coalition for the Homeless. August 2002, there are many families that are homeless, about 41%.
I feel like many families should have more opportunities to do what they want and to achieve higher goals in life so they don't stay homeless and could do something with their life. Most people don't really appreciate the things they have. Even if it's the little things you should always be thankful because there are people out there that don't even have those little things, they have nothing.
