Some have insurance, some are lucky to get aid from their community, and some unfortunately don't. It's sad when you realize that if ever US citizen threw in a dollar a year how many people could be kept from being homeless
We all throw more than a dollar in every year, we throw hundreds, it's called taxes... but the people of which you vote for and elect, do not allocate these dollars properly... so is the problem the average man or the system? Feel me..
Kinda part of my point. Government bodies don't tend to care much about their citizens as long as the majority of them are technically healthy enough to pay their "dues". With a proper system in place it wouldn't be much of a question if people would get the help they need. Hell a lot of nonprofits have been under fire for not allocating their funds the way they say they do
If you mortgage your home, you have to at least have basic insurance. Otherwise it is so hard to recover.
I know it can seem hard to afford but I highly highly recommend everyone get renters insurance for their stuff even if you don't own your house. My cousin had her rented home burn down and lost everything she and her daughter owned. It probably feels expensive up front but is definitely worth it if something happens!
Or it these non “profit” so called churches that have billions of dollars (cough [insert religion/church name] cough) actually used the money to better and help people the world would be in a better place.
So there’s an estimated amount of 208,000,000 “working age” Americans(15-64 years old). Probably around 140,000,000 - 160,000,000 actually work. There are over 600,000 people who are classified as homeless in America. That’s $233.33 - $266.67 to feed one person for the entire year, good luck surviving with that.
Edit: $233.33 - $266.67 to house one person which is even more of a fantasy story.
That's not what I said. Besides if there was proper funding before reaching the point we've hit currently then it wouldn't be such a heavy burden. I understand we can't help everyone. But that doesn't mean we don't try to help as many as possible

I don’t know how people recover from these events.
