Diane Clarke is a single mother of four, living in North Etobicoke. In April 2014, she had to leave her job as a social worker to take care of her oldest daughter, who had become sick. Her $4,000 monthly income was cut down to $1,380; after paying rent, Clarke had less than $200 left over to cover her family’s cost of living. Her small savings quickly dried up, and after three weeks without work, she ran out of food.
