summary:
According to the article Helping Minnesota's Homeless Kids, In U.S.A there are more than 3,200 homeless children and they are of all ages. Most of them were of color. There are many negative effects of homelessness on kids. They are more likely to live in a dangerous life,with substance abuse, because their family is extremely poor.

Issues:
1- Why did these children become homeless?
2- Do you think the cause of the existence of homeless children is the economic recession?
3- What are the solutions that help to eliminate the issue of homeless children?

Opinion:
In my opinion, these children should join the campaign to end child homelessness. Every day these children are exposed to a lot of problems such as more health problems, developmental delays, depression, behavioral problems, and increased anxiety. In my view, we should put hand in hand to find a solution for these homeless who are living in the street. I think the effects of a human made disaster are caused by economic recession and lack of a affordable housing.
