Socials Story.

The streets were filled with unemployed hungrey people searching for something more in life to survive. Unfortunetly I had become one of those people. My lfe before the depression was to good to be ture, amazing family, and an enjoyable job. When I least expected it, my life came spiraling downwards along with the stock market. Bussinesses everywhere were losing money and people were being let go because the employers could not pay their employees. I worked in a factory and when they told me I was fired, my heart sank as tears began to whell up in my eyes. I feared for how I would manage to support my family as my husband had died in WWI. Shortly we lost our home and lived on the streets trying to live. I hardly ate, most food I found I have to my children, and even then it was not enough to feed their hunger, nor mine. I knew something needed to be done or none of us would make it through these desperate times. All I could do was strive on what I did have and remain hopefull that the world would not always be this way.
