The dispossessed are people who do not have a place to live or own very few possessions. Just like when we forget our doll at school or our toy car at the park, some grown-ups don't have a home to live in or don't have many things to call their own. This can happen because they lost their job and can't pay rent, or they had to move away from their home because of war or other bad things happening around them. The dispossessed are people who are now living without a home and may need help from others to get back on their feet.
