Ever make chicken? 3lbs of chicken is $15 alone ($3.59/lb x 4 lbs, about 1lb of liquid). That's not a lot of food.

Oh, hmm.. How about hamburger then? Same story.

$1k would absolutely be a lifechanger. I'd be able to go get my colonoscopy that I desperately need, or be able to at least go to a therapist to help get over my fear of needles in preparation for that.

You bet I'll drop $15 on CAH. I'm not going to deny myself entertainment just because there are other things I need.

Look at it this way: $15 is a one-time expense. Health insurance is $400/mo.

And I'm not even that poor. I'd rather the $1k go to someone who needs it more than me.
