One in 10 Canadians lives in poverty. That’s three million people. That’s a truly sad statistic when we realize that we live in one of the richest countries in the world… Many of us cannot imagine living in poverty yet no one knows when their lives can change. An accident, mental health issues, loss of employment, divorce or an abusive relationship can quickly bring a person to the ugly world of poverty. Everyone living in poverty has a story. Poverty leaves a person feeling isolated, lonely and hungry. This is not acceptable when we live in such a great country.
