Day Six (Tiger Woods and dirtpies)

Raised $8,444.62 (%54)
I dont have the energy to sit here and and write too much. Today is day 7. I would eat dirt at this point, haha. In Haiti, the folks starving there ACTUALLY do eat dirt. They make these pies with a little water and grain, mostly dirt, sun dried. Most of them will settle for the sickness of eating dirt because its a much better sickness then dealing...

Raised $5,980.12 (38%)
This morning I was invited to Washington High School in Washington, Indiana to talk to their 7th grade, 8th grade, and highschoolers about Operation Starvation. It was amazing to see these kids so excited about getting involved. One girl came and gave me 30cents and said she knew it wouldn’t help much but its all she had. I dont know what it is, but...
Day Three & Four
operationstarvation:
Wednesday night, I screened “Adopt-A-Jesus” at Cincinnati Christian University and then friends took me to see The Flobots. I was beginning to feel pretty awful beforehand and came close to not going to the concert, but became very encouraged by what seems to becoming my hunger strike soundtrack.
“Stand up We shall not be moved Except by a child with no socks and shoes If...

Day Two

Raised $1,856.64 (11%)
Im beginning to wake up to the sounds of my stomach at night. Its not so much that its hurting, yet, but it sounds like a small monster inside. This is all if I can get to sleep at all between having to get up more times then I care to mention to have to go pee. Its been quite an adventure.
Its only the morning of day three, and I have already lost...

Day One
operationstarvation:
Day one is over. I spent three hours with friends in a food court after church and it was pretty painful how often food was offered and I felt like an idiot turning it down. My body has been mad at me all day, and this is only the beginning of this dysfunctional relationship between my body and I. Im being reminded of how often we tend to take for granted our culture of...

My name is Brandt Russo. I have a tshirt company called Cant Ignore The Poor. I know some people would say that I do alot for our brothers and sisters struggling through poverty. I feel as though I should try to do more. Its time to put a face on and give a voice to the 30,000 estimated...
I definitely should remember this tonight.
