Jerome Griffin+FollowI Was Roasting a Turkey at 3AM to Make RentI’m a single mom working at a restaurant in New York. The night before Thanksgiving, I worked until 11PM because I needed every dollar for rent. My child was asleep when I got home. I used my phone flashlight to put the turkey in the oven. Halfway through, I fell asleep on the kitchen floor. The next morning, my daughter said, “Mom, you’re like a superhero.” I almost cried. I’m not a superhero—just a mom trying to give her kid a normal holiday. #SingleMom #MinimumWageReality #ThanksgivingShift #CostOfLiving #RealLifeUSA20Share
morrisonjoseph+FollowA $350 Rent Increase the Week Before ThanksgivingWe live in an old Denver apartment. The landlord emailed saying rent would go up by $350 next month. After recalculating our budget, Thanksgiving dinner became impossible. I told my kid, “We’ll keep it simple this year.” He asked, “Did we do something wrong?” I didn’t know how to answer. We didn’t do anything wrong—life just keeps getting more expensive. #HousingCrisis #RentIncrease #ThanksgivingStruggles #CostOfLiving #RealStories43Share
