There are many reasons people end up in poverty. Some of these reasons can probably be directly blamed on the person and some not. Bad things happen to good people all the time. Sometimes, it's just a matter of a few lost paychecks that sends someone into poverty. Perhaps by being laid off from a job or sudden medical expenses and illness, this all being no fault of their own. There are also people who just don't have the means or education to keep themselves out of poverty. Then, of course, you do have the people who are unwilling to work or try to help themselves. What is sad about this is the millions of children who are affected. Even with the many government programs available to help, millions of children still go hungry. Sadly, the situation of poverty will always exist, we all just need to do whatever we can to help these poor people.
