prevent poverty.....help those who are not as lucky

i saw something very sad today a couple with 3 very young children werestanding by the street holding a smaall cardboard sign saying please help me....... i am so angry at myself , im mad at my self because i was thinking about my friend who wants to be chaperoned for the movies, when others out there are suffering. im soooooooooooooooooo grateful for everything i have. if she doesnt wqnt to be independent that is her problem, but there is a greater issue out there.
