Hello. My name is Ron, I'm 42. I'm from Newcastle. I have a wife, Claire, and three sons — aged 3, 9, and 12. For several years, I worked as a long-haul truck driver. I mainly drove around Britain, sometimes taking long runs to France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The work was hard, but steady. The pay came on time, and my family never really wanted for anything.

Working for myself, deciding where to go and how much to earn. But I didn't have the money for a truck. Hell — I wouldn't even have had enough for tires. Three kids, a wife, bills… Where was that money supposed to come from? I was out of work for almost two months. Income — zero. Savings were melting away before my eyes. Little by little, I started getting into debt. I thought about going into construction, but with my back, it's nearly impossible. I can barely even lift my three-year-old son, let alone haul tools and cement. Thousands of hours behind the wheel had already ruined my spine years ago. I didn't know what to do. There was such tension at home… My wife was silent, clearly worried. My sons looked at us and could sense something was wrong. On Friday, Dan — my oldest son — came up to me. I was sitting there looking for work. He suddenly says: "Dad, sorry for asking… but will we be able to get me a bike for my birthday? All my friends already hav
