Food bank,I am so sad to see how many have to depend on it, like my family. Because of low income, you can not buy food every week, and you end up needing lots of help.
Lots of us are earning at least $ 30000. Lower than the poverty line. That means you cannot have dentist care, you can't pay for new glasses, you can't afford gas. you cannot afford a home, you pretty much almost have nothing left for yourself to survive with even your own kids helping.
Lots of people are in that situation, thanks to the employers that don't want to pay more there employees. Anyhow, lets hang in there.

That's a big problem all around the world which grew recently because of the crisis we just passed through, but many people are still living the consequences of it. In Spain, there are many people too depending of others help. Wages are too low to overcome all the outgoings. There are also more people using the social lunchrooms to get one hot plate in a day and less persons able to fill up the food banks. It's a big problem.
