‘I can’t keep up:’ Many single moms were struggling to get by. Then gas prices shot up.

Single mothers in the local area are facing increased financial strain due to rising gas prices. One such mother, Luna Rosado, commutes to two health care jobs and transports her children to school and activities, filling her tank twice a week. The recent surge in gas prices has added $40 to her weekly expenses, resulting in $160 less for groceries and other necessities each month. Rosado has had to reassess her budget to accommodate the changes. Further details on the impact of gas prices on local residents can be found through The 19th, which has reported on the struggles of single mothers like Rosado in the area.
