30 Days

We watched a movie by Morgan Spurlock. It was about Morgan his fiance, Alex, leaving rich lifestyles behind to see what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck in Ohio. Morgan and Alex worked at multiple minimum wage jobs for 30 days earning only $5.15 per hour. They get to experience first hand the struggles minimum wage earning families face and the grueling reality behind it. It was sad to really see what it's like for people who literally run out of money. By seeing this it makes me what to help. I know what it's like to work hard and just not have enough money, but nothing like these people. My parents still support me financially, but not for my social life- that I have to use my own money for. There are so many organizations out there to help people in poverty, and I believe it's important to help. Now that I know more about this cause, I will do what I can to help those in poverty.
