The definition of homelessness is the state of having no home. According to TalkPoverty.org, the Poverty rate in North Carolina is 16.4%. Homelessness can be happen for many different reasons. Sometimes it's not the persons fault. Sometimes it can be caused a mental illness and they can't get a job due to their illness. I choose this issue because, where I live, I see homeless people everyday and I feel absolutely terrible. It makes me feel so bad that these people don't have anywhere to go and have to sit outside and beg for money because they can't afford any food but, I think it makes me even more grateful for what I have. A way we can help is by raising money and collecting food and clothes. We can raise money by having bake sale that would go directly to homeless shelters in Raleigh like Raleigh Rescue Mission. We could also do a food and clothes drive that would go to homeless shelters like Raleigh Rescue Mission. Homelessness is terrible and it could happen to anyone at anytime including you. Let's fight to make these peoples lives better because they don't deserve to be out on the streets.
