Poverty Stimulation

How did the overall exercise portray the hardships of low-income living for women and children in the United States?

The poverty stimulation should me how hard it is for low-income women and their children. The public agencies have money available to help, but there is a lot of red tape. It also takes vital time out of the women’s day to go to these different agencies to get help. After work the women usually have to help their children since the children are no longer in school and these low-income families can’t afford to pay for extra help or tutors. So it’s difficult for them to do everything they need to do without any additional help. These women are very stressed out in their day-to-day life just trying to make enough to pay the bills, get food, and care for their children. Little things, like the kids getting sick, now become a big deal since they don’t have insurance and the women might have to take time off of work to care for their children. These low-income families have little options even with the help of government agencies. It’s probably very difficult for the children too. They only have one parent and that parent is working long hours just to get by and probably has limited time for her children. With little supervision and help with school the children aren’t likely to be doing well in school. This is a repeating cycle in which the kids have a strong possibility of growing up and having to deal with the same things.
