Poverty (for example), is rarely experienced in isolation. It is a chain reaction. One missed payment becomes mounting debt. Debt becomes fear. Fear becomes paralysis. And suddenly, someone who was just about coping can find themselves facing eviction, bailiffs at the door, or the quiet collapse of their mental health and sense of dignity.
