Ninety Feet Under: What poverty does to people identifies ninety major impacts of poverty on people—stressors that strike in total and all the time. Written by John Strazzabosco, a retired math teacher, the list of impacts was developed after he volunteered at St. Andrew Catholic Church drop-in center for at-risk kids in Rochester, NY. This book delves into the ninety impacts and makes it clear why the eradication of poverty is so important.
