Graciela Mora is 82 years old, but she does not have a pension or at least a place to sleep. Despite her difficult situation, this woman refuses to ask for alms although sometimes she does not have enough money to eat.

"Whenever I am occupied because I like to earn a bowl of soup," says this woman who suffers the abandonment of her family.

Situations like Graciela's are aggravated due to the unconsciousness of the families and in turn due to the non-planning of savings for the time of old age. Read more on our Twitter account @amomama_usa.

This increase in population requires that measures be taken by the government to avoid a crisis due to lack of housing, health, and food.

There are a lot of people trying to help and find a solution to this problem, for example, the Clara White Mission will build tiny homes for homeless veterans in Florida, and they look incredible.

Almost one million veterans live in poverty; it's the reason why a lot of them are homeless. These individuals put their lives on the line to protect our nation, so a nonprofit organization in Florida called Clara White Mission is planning to roll out an enduring improvement.
