€58,900 in three days. And my first peaceful sleep in 6 years. My name's Alexandre Vidal, I'm 44. I'm a lift engineer in London. Most people have no idea what this job is really like. You don't just "fix a lift and leave". You go down into the shaft – no light, constant draughts, 15–20 storeys high. You work in a tight space, surrounded by cables, counterweights and mechanisms that could move at any moment. For 9 years, I've been taking risks every single day. One wrong move – and that's it.

Plus I have a loan I took out 4 years ago when Emily had surgery. We thought we'd pay it back quickly. But life had other plans. The last six months have been really tough. I started having panic attacks in the shaft. Once, I climbed down to the 18th floor and suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe properly. My heart was racing, my hands were shaking. I barely managed to finish the job. From that day on, I started being scared to go down. But I couldn't tell anyone – I'd have los
