The statistics are startling. As of March 2012, more than 16.5 million children in the U.S. live in poverty. An astounding 1.5 million American children are homeless. To be classified as poverty-level, a family of four would make $22,500 or less, according to the government. These children are often without warm weather clothing, leading to miserable winters and potential health problems.
