Member speaks to Eastern Eye about the impact of the No Recourse to Public Funds condition
On 24 September, Eastern Eye published a story about the No Recourse to Public Funds condition that leaves so many migrants destitute and struggling.
MV member Sonia* spoke to the news outlet for this story: “It’s very stressful – especially as a parent when you feel you are unable to give your children the best. I have struggled to buy school uniforms and there have been times when the school has asked me to buy things such as a costume for a school play and I felt like I had failed my children (because I couldn’t afford it). I constantly think about debts, having to pay off the home office, thinking how I can afford food and rent…it feels impossible.”
