Wake up to Reality


The Myth:
LA consists of:
-Hollywood
-Malibu
-Expensive Cars
-Celebrities
-Great Life

The Reality:
-The average income is $20,000.
-There are 88,000 homeless people, but only 13,000 shelter beds.
-1 out of every 4 people will find themselves homeless every year.
-80% of women who are homeless are raped within the first two weeks.
-In east LA, (where we were) 40% of the people live below the poverty line.

I pray that those Americans who are oblivious to the real world will wake up and find that they aren't the center of the universe. There are those who have it way worse.
