The sinking into poverty of the middle class is one of the main problems in Spain. Families who could always make great presents to their children now struggle in an attempt to feed them.
Not only can they not afford whims anymore, but they can’t even buy very basic things like clothes or food. They have no other choice but to go to a community kitchen, a place where they never thought they would end up eating. Many of them are not able to pay their home’s rent or the mortgage, so they are evicted of the only place where they felt safe. One day they have a place to hide from the wild world that surrounds them, next day they find themselves in the streets. Some are lucky enough to have a relative that can take them in, but others have nowhere to go. They are wasted, devastated, and they see alcohol or drugs as the only way to escape from their sorrow.
These situations are actually not new, what has changed is the number of people who end up like this. 26% of the Spanish citizens have lost their job and many of them are now homeless. The crisis has surely not gone unnoticed, and the only way to soothe the damage that it has done in the Spanish people is to stay together and form a big family, being empathic and helping each other as much as possible, don't you think?
