My name is David Nwosu. I'm 34 years old. I live in London, in Tottenham. I work as a labourer on a construction site for a major contractor. Right now, we're building a big residential complex near Stratford. Every day from 6:30am, I'm on site — formwork, concrete, rebar, heights. 10–11 hours on my feet, sometimes more. The pay is alright for construction — about £16–18 an hour with overtime — but after tax and everything else, a lot less than it looks. Before, things were okay. My wife Aisha and I rented a flat, the kids were growing up, I worked, she worked as a shop assistant. We weren't rich, but we weren't drowning either. Then, over two years, everything went to shit.

Then last January, my car died. Right on the way to work. Repairs cost £5,500. Without a car, I can't get to site — public transport is rubbish, and being late gets you penalised. I had to take out a loan. That's when everything collapsed. I paid the rent with one loan, took out another to pay the first. Interest kept piling up. Then came the heating bills — winter was brutal. Then the kids needed winter boots and coats. Then school fees. Every month I told myself: "Next month will be better." But the next month came, and everything got worse. Now we owe £29,000. Rent swallows nearly 60% of what I bring home — £1,650 a month. What's left goes to food, transport, clothes, everything else. The bank doesn't call anymore — they send letters with red headers.
