The greatest correlation to poverty is crime. It’s pervasive and generational. If we want to reduce crime we need to alleviate poverty first. There is a reason that Springfield is on the list of most dangerous cities per capita and also Missouri’s poorest city based on household income (cities with >25k residents)

I want to donate to them, but just the fact they couldn't be bothered to have insurance on their old trailer when such a thing is really inexpensive bothers me.

My work just ran an event over Black Friday for animal shelters, raising about $15k. We already gave a chunk of that to Rescue One, but I don't know what we should do with the rest. We have about 10k left for donations, but I want to ensure it's used responsibly. I asked about it on FB, and they hid/deleted my post instead of replying back to me Thoughts or suggestions?
