with special guest Angie Peters from Yonge Street Mission. With each passing day, the income gap grows wider and wider. Business executives get richer, while their entry level employees are forced to use food banks. Timely medical care is accessible to those who can pay while others struggle on waitlists or skip filling a prescription. Fewer and fewer couples can afford their own home. Is this really the world we dreamed of? If so many people are being pushed to the margins, then, as a society, we must not be living in a way that aligns with our values. There must be something more that each of us can do. In this episode, Angie Peters from Yonge Street Mission opens up about the power behind listening and coming alongside people who live in chronic poverty. She shares inspiring stories of what can happen when marginalized individuals are encouraged to rediscover their childhood dreams. Through Yonge Street Mission’s poverty hack-a-thon, Angie encourages us all to rethink how we see solutions to poverty. We all have skills, talents, and assets that make us the perfect person to come alongside someone in need—yes, even you! And the truth is, if we all help one person out of poverty, then we really can end poverty, together.
