For many Canadians all it takes is one event, one moment, to go from getting by to living on the street or not knowing where their next meal is coming from.
For one 63-year-old Belleville resident, who asked only to be identified as Ron, that moment came when an injury to his foot sidelined him for eight months. Doctors were able to save the foot, but, by the time he was mobile again, crippling arthritis had taken root.
