This year ESN Kraków United is helping Mrs Helena and her family.
History of the family: Mrs Helena, her husband Ignacio and their son Mateusz live in a rented house. The living conditions are very poor. The family hasn’t had electricity for over 2 years. Their difficult financial situation causes problems, sometimes they don’t have enough money for bills. Mateusz has a disability which prevents him from taking up a job. Furthermore, the boy’s illness is under research by a doctor, and they are waiting for a final diagnosis to start a treatment. Mrs Helena works in the information point at the train station as a part-time job. Her contract will expire by the end of December and she doesn’t know what will happen next. She is looking for a new job already. Mr Ignacio only performs odd jobs. They both know that during the pandemic it is hard to find full-time employment. At the moment, their monthly income amounts to approximately 1840 zł. After deducting the costs of living (500 zł), they have 447 zł (100 €) left for each family member per month.
