Andono Bryant, 44, mother of 5 grown-up children, takes out boxes of food while picking up groceries from an old shuffleboard court. She's making sure that her family will have something to eat today.

Meanwhile, Andono's 47-year-old husband is serving steaks to a few of the individuals targeted by the Occupy protests. These targets represent the 1% of the entire Americans gaining the almost 60% of all the income profits generated for the last 30 years.

Andono's husband, Alan Bryant, works at the Ruth's Chris Steak House, where one can have a sumptuous cowboy cut ribeye for 44$ and 1-pound fully loaded potato for $7. He's proud serving good meals to others and seeing the smile of the customers makes his day complete.

Making others happy makes him happy although it hurts him inside as he thinks about his broken dreams.

The couple used to earn $40,000 and has their own house. They also share to others, but the world turned upside down for them. Now, they're living below poverty line and currently staying in a city where the gap between the wealthy and poor is the widest among other places in the nation.

They are just two of the millions of U.S. residents who dropped down from the middle class. Andono's family might have a simple dinners made from co-op groceries as the usual menu.

Andono said that the co-op helps them survive as it serves as her family's bridge to having food in the table. Still, like her husband, she's reminded by how life became unfortunate for her family. Despite their being hardworking and prompt payers of bills, they still end up in an unlucky situation, from which they're trying to survive until now.
