KJ, it is hurtful to see this kind of shameful neglect, and so globally absolute. In the states, we seem very interested in international hunger campaigns of all sorts, yet many of your neighbors live right here in my textbook middle-class city (sans the accent).

We have a system here as well and if it's available, it's often abused; and still, there are those who cannot even get that assistance for many odd reasons.

I try to take solace in my faith because God cares and knows every last one. So many of my fellow humans are capable and they do nothing or just enough to let themselves feel "good" at holiday times. Many corporations here sponsor good works but there is never enough for all who need it.

Your heart is in the right place.
