The Options Committee of Making Kenora HOME has proposed the second annual poverty challenge, A Walk in Other’s Shoes. Community members have been asked to spend seven days facing some of the challenges poverty causes. The event takes place during the second week of February, which is the annual Week of Action Against Poverty.Participants will live off $52.00 for the entire seven days. This includes all food and drink, entertainment, some personal supplies and transportation costs. Each participant will be given a daily challenge card that will reveal an additional challenge; they must complete the challenge before the day’s end.An opening event is scheduled to be held at City of Kenora Council Chambers at 12:00 pm on Wed. February 8th. The closing event will be held at the Kenora Recreation Centre Rotary Room at 12:00 pm on Thursday February 16th. Both are open to the public.

End of day two

Well my answer to my challenge card of a tooth ache was a simple bottle of Tylenol. It was the simplest and only affordable option I could think of. Dentist is not in the budget, I know that much. I don't know what I would do if seeing a Dr when I was hurting was a distant option. Kind of scary.

Today was a long day for sure. I ate fairly healthy today but only had two  small meals all day. Im going to bed hungry.

I hope my challenge card tomorrow is the Lottery numbers! I only have around 10dollars left.
