  ABSTRACT: Living in a low-income family can pose a lot of struggles. Lack of funds, insufficient housing, shortage for healthy food, and hampered healthcare are just a few of these struggles. While these problems are addressed by government programs and social initiatives, little is known about the difficulties low-income parents experience daily. In this study, the researchers examine and explore the lived experiences of low-income parents through conducting an in-depth interview. The major findings from the research questions shed light on the profound challenges faced by low-income parents including financial struggles, mental health impacts, and disparities in government assistance. The participants’ narratives from the interview have vividly illustrated the daily hardships they endure, from inadequate funds for food to the emotional toll that comes from financial insecurity. These results highlight the urgent need for comprehensive support systems and proper policies to address the complex realities of low-income parents and families.
