What friends, neighbors, and family members tell us about their experiences with poverty.

Hi, I’m Joe and I’m retired. I own my home after working 45 years but on my fixed income, with all my medical costs, I am really struggling. My home needs a lot of repairs that I can’t afford. I have started to use the local food pantry." |

We are Michael and Angela. Michael works and Angela goes to school. Our combined income is less than $30,000 a year. Our rent and other expenses have jumped in the past year, making it impossible for us to keep up. We don’t know how we will continue to pay rent." |

My name is David, and I am 35 and a father of three. We purchased our first home here because it is a great place to raise a family. Lately, it feels like we are falling further behind. Everything from gas to food to childcare is more expensive. I need more than the small raise I received to keep up with the rising costs of raising a family." |
