  6. What do kids saypoverty is? “Get sick ‘cause it’s cold – can’t afford heating.” “You can’t afford basic necessities – can’t afford to go to the doctors. Live in shit damp, cold houses.” “If you don’t have much money you can’t afford to get there [to the doctor] – petrol, public transport and then you can’t afford to pay the doctor.” “You may get into debt with paying any medical treatment.”
