Story

Everyone has their own opinions of homelessness, here's my story. A few years ago me and my family were faced with the possibility of having our home taken from us and us being homeless. One simple wrong choice led us to loose everything just like that! Luckily we had amazing support from our families which meant we were never going to face the reality of living on the street but the threat was there. As an adult I was absolutely petrified, for me and my children so I can't even imagine what it would be like for a teenager or young adult who faces homelessness as their daily reality. My daughter Anna and I are very appreciative of our home and loving environment and wanted to join this campaign to help give something back to those who are not as lucky as we are. Please help us to make a difference to young people in our area.
