What Life Is Like At The Poverty Line

What Life Is Like At The Poverty Line

It’s one impossible choice after another—between food, medicine, paying the heating bill or even affording a lawyer. If a person or family does not have an adequate income there are many tough choices to make every day.  LSMO.org  has added a link to the Tour Poverty USA video.  Find out what life is like at the poverty line and ways you can help. If you are a lawyer you can help by contacting The Missouri Bar Pro Project or your local Missouri legal aid program to volunteer to handle a pro bono legal aid case in Missouri.
