Every morning, thousands of Chicagoans pay $2.25 to take the L train to work. At lunch, many people flood into downtown establishments, paying as much as $8.50 for a small chicken salad. And on the way home, hundreds will line up at Starbucks to pay $4 for a tall latte before heading back on the L. Without thinking about it, many of us have paid $17, all at a normal day of work.

Now imagine having to live on just $1 per day. Zach Ingrasci and Chris Temple went to Guatemala to experience it for themselves in their award-winning documentary, Living On One. They take us through intense hunger, parasites, and the same daily worries that millions of people around the world go through every day.

Join YAO Chicago at The Chicago Real Estate Institute (2711 N. Halsted) on Wednesday, August 19 at 7 pm as we watch Zach and Chris step into the shoes of people who struggle to survive on nearly nothing each and every day. Afterwards, we will have a happy hour where we can share our perspectives on the film and how we can help alleviate this problem.

We hope to see you there!
