He's struggling to make ends meet
A hard-up dad-of-two has admitted that “all he’s been eating is porridge” while he silently “suffers” through the cost of living crisis.
“I do go to the foodbank a lot. If I didn’t get this, I’d have eaten porridge. I’m really short on money so porridge is all I’ve been eating. It’s not good.” “I’m a qualified gas fitter so I want to get back to work next month, I need to! Sitting at home 24-hours, you get so bored not doing anything. Every day just goes past and I’m losing money, I could be out there earning money!”
Shahzaad said: “They are doing a really good job. Times have been a bit hard. I come from a different culture in India and I didn’t used to prepare my own meals back home.“It’s only when I came here to Leeds that I had to do everything on my own. It’s a life skill which I had to learn. We started making basic easy food, like eggs, omelette, cheeseburgers, sandwiches.”“Yes,” smiles Shahzaad, “Thing that you can survive on. This has made me so happy, plus it’s Indian food.
