Broken Dreams

It’s a fact.  More than three million Canadians live in poverty and wake everyday to the reality of broken dreams.

While the typical Canadian dream is to obtain an education, job, house and family, those enduring hardship have different visions.  They dream of affordable, nutritious food; sleeping somewhere other than on a relative’s couch; wearing clothes that aren’t tattered and the subject of ridicule.

For those fighting to get in to the middle class, a little help from others can make a big difference.

Are we as Canadians responsible to help those in need and set the stage for good dreams?
