Marian Wright Edelman: A Christmas Prayer to End Poverty in Our Time
God help us to end poverty in our time.
The poverty of having a child with too little to eat and no place to sleep,
no air, sunlight and space to breathe, bask and grow.
The poverty of watching your child suffer and get sicker and sicker and not knowing
what to do or how to get help because you don’t have a car or health insurance.
The poverty of working your fingers to the bone every day taking care of someone else’s
children and neglecting your own, and still not being able to pay your bills.
The poverty of having a job that does not let you afford a stable place to live and being terrified
you’ll become homeless and lose your children to foster care.
