An Irish woman has been forced to choose between paying her rent or buying food as the cost of living spirals.
Karina O’Dowd has Type 1 diabetes and since the pandemic she has become visually impaired as her condition gets worse. Karina requires a specific diet, but unfortunately she’s struggling to afford the food due to expensive rent.
She told Dublin Live: “Every week I get paid on a Friday. As soon as I get paid everything is gone. I’ve to decide whether to pay rent or buy food. Most likely I have to pay rent, I've no choice, I need a roof over my head.
