Participants will have the chance to take on the role of a single parent, an ex-offender released from prison, a breadwinner with a sudden terminal illness, or a college student – all living in poverty. During each 15 minute “week” the participant will have requirements to fulfill: child care, health concerns, shopping for food, finding employment, transportation, securing housing, and paying rent and utilities.
