during the failure in the stock market there were people who lost their houses because they didn't have jobs meaning they didn't have money to help them out. the stock market was really bad in 1929. its sad seeing a person become homeless and sleep in the streets or park like this woman in the picture.

some people decided to sell fruits like apples to make money to help support their family during the failure in the stock market. things were not going good for anybody. apples were about 5 cents. from the looks of it they weren't making much business there though.

since people were losing their houses due to losing their jobs and the stock market, they ended up living in buildings like churches, schools, shelters, etc. it was a very difficult time to deal with. i know they were uncomfortable sleeping there since those chairs seem all hard.
