Prayer: Option for the Poor, Marian Wright Edelman, Founder, Children’s Defense League

God has blessed us in America \ with more riches than some of us know what to do with, yet we let millions of our children go hungry, without shelter, and without other basic necessities of life. Here we are blessed with the best of health technology, yet we have places were our children’s immunizations rates fall behind those of some developing country and eleven million children are without health coverage. We must take care of our children who suffer from poverty
