The announced increase in food prices due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine will, alas, “push” the most precarious a little more.
Among these, the young Lizzie already has all the difficulties to get out of it.
At only 20 years old, she often has to deprive herself of essentials so as not to aggravate her economic distress.
“I see kids in worse situations than mine”
Despite her four jobs (including a part-time contract in a bookstore, teaching dance, etc.), Lizzie continues to make sacrifices: “I earn between 700 and 800 euros a month;
I receive my pay on the 5th and once my rent, my bills and part of the shopping have been paid, I am overdrawn on the 10th, she explains.
I have no weekends, very few days off and no leisure”.
Her parents help her from time to time, but their daughter doesn't ask them for anything because she doesn't want them to worry about her.
However, Lizzie, who also works with the Secours populaire, does not feel sorry for herself: “financially, I am not doing well, but I see kids in much worse situations!
They only eat thanks to food distributions.
It makes me feel good to be able to help them.”
