It has been really inciteful to follow your stories. I just found this campaign and thought you all might be interested too. www.livebelowtheline.com .
Keep this momentum going and continue to inspire and educate your peers around the world!
Thanks,

Today at Dollar General I was able to buy pineapple slices, soup, peanuts, toothpaste, and deodorant for about $5. Now, thinking about that in the short term, I'm only doing this for a week. Cutting back on expenditures for a week is a lot easier than cutting back on expenditures for a year? 3 years? a lifetime? All I've had to eat today was a handful of peanuts. The remaining food I've saved for tomorrow and Wednesday. I'm wondering how I'm gonna make it through this week on so little. But after this week, that's it. I go back to being a college student, the uncertainty is only temporary for me. For others it's not. I can't imagine what it's like to live on such a small income. The rest of this week will give me a small insight into the lives of the poor. This insight will influence my own life. I have a feeling my perspective will be changed greatly by the end of this challenge.
