I never got the idea that the mom who was to receive the shoes is poor. She lives next door not in another neighbourhood. The only thing was that her son was younger and would maybe like to receive a cool hand me down.
Outside of suburban hell people of vastly different economic situations generally live right near each other.
For instance, next door from me are two dudes who couldn't afford a fridge for the first couple months they lived here, they work and study, the next neighbor owns the entire building and his own contracting company.
There person in the story could truly be suffering, but it's sold as "lol Karen got owned".
