A month on the edge. This investigative series follows a single mother through rent week math, childcare deserts, and landlord screenings that never forget a blemish. Across three chapters, we map how wages fall short, how benefits cliffs erase raises, and how transportation and scheduling compound the strain. Then we test what works: early rent prevention, right-to-counsel scripts, flexible childcare pickups, carpool backups, and the buffer envelope that holds a household steady.
