3. Our Relationship to the Problem of Poverty
I don’t personally know anyone who is homeless
or starving, nor do most of the people in our
community I assume, so technically I don’t have a
personal relationship to the issue. However,
poverty and everything that comes with it is a
major global issue that can be solved, if not greatly
improved, if everyone literally just put their two
cents in.
Imagine if it was us, or a family member, friend, or
classmate, that was in this situation. Fortunately
for me it is not, but if it were, wouldn’t you want
to help? And if all it takes is a dollar here and
there, then why wouldn’t you do what you could
to help others who are so much less fortunate than
us, only because of where they happen to live?

6. Managing Your Donation
So, you’ve been out all day and swiped your
card 9 times.
Now when you login, using your email and
password, you can see the amount of money
that you are dealing with.
Once you know the amount of money you
have to allot, you can put it all towards one
area, such as food, or you can split it up
however you choose.

The ultimate goal of this app would be for as many
people as possible to use it to make a difference in
people all over the world’s lives.
This app would be proposed to whoever would
listen because anyone that heard about this would
want to make it a reality, and make poverty a
reality of the past.
This pertains to every country, town, and village in
the world because there is poverty everywhere.
