I used to think the most difficult part of being a single mother was figuring out how to tell my daughter “we can’t afford that” without showing the embarrassment in my voice. But then, a simple gesture of generosity at her school led to a phone call that completely chilled me.
As a single parent, most weeks feel like a constant struggle.
I balance two jobs and make every cent count. I calculate exactly how much fuel I need to make it through the week. I’ve learned which bills can be delayed and which ones are urgent.
