Missing school not having sanitary products
Walking 13 miles daily for work, not being able to afford bus fare
Despairing they’ve walked 6 miles to the food bank & it is closed, having not eaten for 2 days
Giving up work because childcare costs more than what they earn

Repaying a weekly fee in council rent arrears, whilst being homeless & not having any money left over for food
Sex work to pay the bills
Pawning their wedding ring to pay rent
Refusing a recommended hospital admission because they don’t get sick pay

Kids having to wear all their clothes in layers because it’s winter & they can’t afford a coat
