Do you have what it takes to break a Guinness World Record? Would you slice 38 potatoes in a minute while hopping on a shovel? Walk more than 328 feet with an electric lawnmower balanced on your chin? Do 27,000 jumping jacks?
Show us how you #LOVEUNITED on Twitter @myvsuw for your chance to win an autographed Phoenix Suns, Mark West basketball.
A poverty simulation. United Way was going to show me what it’s like to be poor in less than two hours. I thought I had it in the bag. I know how to dress up ramen so it seems like a real meal. I’ve donated plasma to make rent. I could handle this.
But I soon found out that real poverty – the kind that exists without a car your parents bought you – is an all-consuming syndrome. It’s a collection of afflictions that feed on each other and conspire to perpetuate the cycle.
We can make a difference in our local community today. In fact, our Hunger Action Month calendar includes something meaningful we can do every day this month to contribute to the cause.
