The Cinderalla Man

When the Great Depression hit it affected families in many ways. When the Great Depression first hit many people lost their jobs. As people were losing their jobs many couldn't afford to up keep their home, while some sold their personal items in their house; others couldn't afford to keep it and had to move out and leave. People couldn't afford to keep up the fashion and dressed in less appealing clothes. Families were lucky if they even had a meal for dinner, because no jobs meant no money. The number of homeless people increased which started the development of Hoovervilles; which were tents and shacks put in a big area of space for homeless and people that had lost their jobs and homes. Extra activities like leisure could no longer be done due to the fact they didn't have money for extra activities.
