My mum owns an estate agents and she’s also a landlady.
One of her tenants has three children and lives in a two bedroom flat. Her partner recently left her and now she’s struggling with rent and electricity bills, even keeping her kids fed is a challenge.
Today while I was out with my mum we did a full weeks shop and then packed it into boxes for her tenant, we bought cereal bars and pastas, tinned dinners and things that aren’t really hard to make into a meal and will keep the kids going.
My mum bought some little toys to give them at Christmas as well. It’s hard sometimes to really understand how hard some people are living. It easy enough to turn a blind eye but its quite upsetting.
