Sara's Struggle Of Poverty In The US

Furthermore, it was impossible for Sara to escape poverty under her fathers roof. Sara’s father, Reb Smolinsky, became her main obstacle. While Sara lived with her father she was forced to live under poor conditions. Every penny her father earned would be sent away to charities across the world. Although donating money was for the right reasons, Sara’s father failed to realize that his own family was struggling in poverty. In reality, they barely had enough food to eat each night. On top of that, Sara and her sisters struggled to find jobs. In addition, Sara had to watch as her father wasted his money due to his lack of wisdom in American business. Reb, Sara’s father, purchased a store that did not have supplies nor could help them earn a
steady income. Also, when a costumer did come her father would scare the person away with his lectures. On top of working all day, she was not able to achieve an education. That devastated Sara’s heart the most. Everyday she strived to be on her own. She wanted to obtain a degree and earn money that would help herself get out of poverty.
