November Kiva Loan

I had been waiting to do November's Kiva loan until I had time to go through and choose one that had a particular draw to it, but then I got email from Kiva about a man who has a stay at home wife who raises his two children. He is requesting a loan for $250 so that he could afford winter clothes for his children. They had grown too much over the summer and he fears they will get sick if they do not have pants and jackets that fit them.

How sad is it that honest, working people can't afford to clothe their children...
