From the Paper:

"More than 30% of single mothers are living at or below the poverty level in the United States. 60% of all households in which the single mother is Hispanic, and 45% of all households in which the single mother is African American are poor. 25% of those in poverty do not have a high school diploma. 13 million children each day suffer from the deprivations that poverty brings ("Poverty", 2005). What if just one of those children belonged to you? What if you cold not qualify for welfare because you had a minimum wage job, but the job barely paid the rent, and there was no spousal support, and no family to lend you a hand? What if then the children cried for food? What would you do?"
