How does the trauma that Raspberry experienced living on the streets affect her relationship with money?

What struggles do Raspberry and her friends each face, and how do these challenges develop the theme of the importance of friendship?

Raspberry states multiple times in the text some variation of the idea that “if you got money, people can’t take stuff from you—not your house, or your ride, not your family. They can’t do nothing much to you, if you got a bankroll backing you up” (21). Is this proven to be true? Why or why not?
