Ultimate Compassion

For most of us it’s easy to think of images that represent poverty. Homeless neighbors sleeping on cardboard boxes or under bridges. Jobless folks with signs asking passing motorists for money. Food stamps. Section 8 housing. Cars up on blocks.

Most of our images are of urban neighborhoods and families who are in a cycle of poverty. The reality, however, is that poverty can strike anywhere. Especially in our current economy, formerly middle class and wealthy people are struggling financially in ways they never would have imagined: layoffs, credit card debt, foreclosures.

Ultimate Compassion will attempt to explore a variety of backgrounds that people living in poverty come from and address ways to help.
