What could you live without for seven days?
Coffee. Wi-Fi. Your car. New clothes. Hot showers.
When people think about poverty, they usually picture lack of food or shelter. But many everyday things most of us barely notice can be missing too. For millions of families, going without essentials is an everyday reality. It can mean no hygiene products, no reliable transportation, no winter coat, no internet for school, no safety net. This week, we’re turning awareness into action.
Here’s How It Works:
Choose one thing to go without for 7 days.
TOYS
CAR

Create your personal fundraising page.
Set up your personal page in just a few minutes. Add a photo, choose what you’re going without, and set your fundraising goal. This is your space to track progress, share updates, and show the impact you’re making.
Share why you’re participating & ask your network to sponsor your week.
Your page is where your challenge comes to life. Tell people what you’re giving up, why it matters to you, and how their support will help families who go without every day. Post it. Text it. Email it. When you share your page and invite others to donate, you multiply your impact. Every conversation helps ensure fewer families have to go without.
