Dear diary,
I am desperate. I can´t accept any more money from Eric. Yesterday he was more tipsy than usual and he confessed he is stealing the money he is giving me from his father´s office!!
I know I have no money of my own, but if I accepted that money, I would be getting involved in a serious offence. I may be poor but I am honest. I prefer starving to living on stolen money! And besides, I don´t want any more problems. Imagine ending up in prison!
I know I´ve taken the right decision. I can´t accept stolen money... However, I don´t know what I will do now. How shall I feed the baby in my womb? How will I pay the rent?
Will I find anybody to help me? Who will give a pregnant woman a job?!
The life of the poor is terribly hard!!

Daisy
