✨ At 10:50 PM yesterday, I got a notification from Barclays: **£25,000.00**. But first, let's go back to the beginning. At quarter to seven in the morning, I was kneeling on the floor of an office corridor in central London, a mop in my hand and the harsh smell of bleach clinging to my clothes.

I sat down in the kitchen and opened the Barclays app. £52. That was all that was left until the end of the week. Rent, bills, everything else had already gone. On the table sat an unopened letter from British Gas—£195 for winter back-billing, sitting there for four days. I couldn'
