Today, I am suggesting that there is another dimension to poverty-time. It takes time to survive on a low-income. Time to walk when cars are not an option. Time to hand wash laundry when there is no money to cab over to the laundromat and pay for services. Time to mix up that bread from scratch. All of our challengers are employed (except for our busy retiree) full time. It hasn't been said yet, but undertaking the challenge and finding the time to blog twice a day is exhausting when you are trying to fit in work responsibilities. In addition, one challenger is still trying to navigate into the blog. Given that the Ontario Works application is an on-line application and our challenger is an intelligent woman, I wonder how many give up on obtaining benefits because of tech barriers?
