11-Year-Old’s Question Exposes America’s Growing Inequality Crisis
A mother in the US has spoken openly about how her 11-year-old son noticed growing inequality firsthand. Catherine Collins, co-host of the Five Year You podcast, recently explained to her children why some families struggle with homelessness. Their conversation came as millions of Americans face losing food assistance through the SNAP programme while homelessness rises nationwide.
Collins’ son Edison asked her why a woman on the street needed money and why her children were with her. The question prompted a discussion about unequal access to resources, shelter, and support. Collins told her children that not everyone has the same opportunities or a stable home.
Collins’ story reflects a wider reality where economic instability is increasingly visible. With SNAP benefits at risk and homelessness climbing, more children are witnessing financial hardship up close. The conversation she had with her son mirrors the struggles many families are now navigating.
