Anna, a single mom of three, finally lands a promotion after years of grinding. Just when things start to look up, her landlord hikes the rent by $500—because he can.
Frank, the landlord, never fixed anything on time, treated her like disposable, and acted like having three kids was a burden.
Anna swallowed her pride, kept paying, until the promotion made her “not poor enough” anymore. When she called to complain, Frank laughed and told her, “You chose this life. Pay up.”
That night, Anna broke down silently, but Liam, her 11-year-old, reminded her, “You always figure it out.”
So she did. She gave Frank a 30-day notice and posted a warning in local groups. The post went viral. Other moms shared horror stories. Frank’s shady landlord reputation exploded.
Frank tried to backtrack, offering to keep rent the same. Anna had already signed a new lease with a kind landlord who brought muffins and remembered all their names.
They moved into a smaller, safer home where her kids had real beds, a wild yard, and peace.
Anna’s story spread — a reminder: single moms aren’t too tired to fight. They carry the world, and they remember.
