So many of us experience poverty and there is far too much shame around that!

I think there can be a great deal of misunderstanding between working and professional people and, as I sit between these two identities, I try to say what I can.Sarah Monroehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894955355022865282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551165235308598176.post-11073856988991076352014-08-09T07:39:30.442-07:002014-08-09T07:39:30.442-07:00Sarah, So good to hear more of your personal story...Sarah, So good to hear more of your personal story, especially of your time at seminary when I knew you, but didn't really know all you were going through. I live in a neighborhood that is a mix of Irish working class and young professionals. We don't mix very well. I have had friends from the working class that have helped me understand the issues and perspective you bring. It is very important for those whose heritage has kept us out of the working class, to understand the lives of the people around usl, and those in so much of the country that we don't understand. Your post is a real blessing to all of us. We are all in the same big boat, and will need to be a united people to face the future before all of us. Thanks so much for this personal story.<br />NewellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551165235308598176.post-54322714873153922402014-08-07T09:48:52.221-07:002014-08-07T09:48:52.221-07:00Thank you for what you are doing, Sarah.

This article is a wake-up call to all of us -- a call to compassion and empathy for those living in poverty, whether they are our family members, friends, ourselves, or others. There are SO MANY reasons why people are poor. Susan Fosternoreply@blogger.com
