🔥 The $10 Challenge

Think you know homelessness? Prove it.

We dare you to leave your comforts behind and step into reality — 4 days on the street with just $10. No help. No guidance. No plan. Just you, your judgment, and what you think you know.

This is not a game. It's not a fundraiser. It's a raw, unfiltered crash course in humanity — and it’s being filmed by Bambi & Jenn of MPRCC to shatter stereotypes and challenge public perception.

*Must be 18+ to participate. No prior survival skills required — just heart, courage, and a willingness to see the truth.

Why This Matters

Most people talk about homelessness from the outside. Few ever truly see it. Even fewer understand it.

The $10 Challenge pulls the curtain back. It's not a gimmick — it’s a crash course in humanity. When you sleep on the ground, navigate hunger, and face being unseen… everything changes.

You’ll meet people you’ve ignored. You’ll question everything you thought you knew. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll return with a fire in your gut to help fix a system built to fail the most vulnerable.

"If you've ever said 'they should just get a job,' or 'there's plenty of services out there' — this challenge is for you."

Before You Apply

This is not an easy challenge — and it’s not for show. You’ll be living outside for 4 days with no supplies, no assistance, and only $10 in your pocket. You’ll feel the cold, the hunger, and the invisibility that comes with being unhoused.

That said, you won’t be entirely alone. Bambi and Jenn from MPRCC will be nearby filming and documenting your journey. Trained peer support staff will be on standby to monitor for any emergencies. This is real, raw, and unfiltered — but never unsafe.

To participate, you must:

  • ✔️ Be 18 years of age or older
  • ✔️ Be in good physical and mental health
  • ✔️ Sign a liability and media release waiver
  • ✔️ Participate willingly and without outside support
  • ✔️ Agree to be filmed throughout the experience
  • ✔️ Follow all safety check-in requirements

This experience may challenge your beliefs, your body, and your sense of self — but that’s the point.
