- Age: 19
- Job: Since he lost his job as a line cook due to Covid-19, he is currently unemployed between temporary jobs.

- Technological use/proficiency: Chuck gained experience using technology while he was in high school, and he is comfortable using different technologies. He currently owns an old laptop and a cheap smartphone. His apartment building’s WiFi is unusably slow, and he has a cheap cell phone plan with 2GB of cellular data per month.
### Description
Chuck is a young man who has been struggling to financially survive since he lost his job as a line cook at the beginning of the Covid-19. While Chuck is working at a temporary job, he has very little free time. However, when he is unemployed, most of his time is spend job hunting or refurbishing second-hand furniture that he can sell for extra money. Chuck is more concerned with his own survival than saving the environment. Chuck is often frustrated by how difficult it is to find and access inexpensive second-hand items through social media and City of Saskatoon programs. He wants all of the resources for second-hand items to be in one place, so he doesn’t have to waste his data searching for all the different programs or scrolling through second-hand item groups on social media. He also wants to be able to find items that are located close to his apartment because his transportation options are limited.
