Some of these families are making about $600 - $1,200 a month and I see >comments saying how $1,200 a month for a family of four should be fine
I just can't understand how someone could think that this is enough to live on. Rent can take half or more of that income and a single person would have trouble surviving unless they had subsidized housing. There are long waiting lists here in Canada for this kind of housing and it is hard to get. I agree that volunteering helps so much to make our communities better.
