The past few years have been incredibly tough for me. I had to sleep on friends' sofas and even out in the open for over a year and a half. During this time, I started losing hope in life. The only thing that kept me going was my faithful Greyhound cross Whippet named Leo.
Thankfully, a housing officer noticed me living in a tent. It was a really tough way to live, and I wouldn't want anyone to go through that. I've now been in a more stable situation for over three months. But I know this is only temporary. To build a better future, I'm determined to find a job and create a life of my own.
My ultimate goal is to have a place to call my own. Right now, my main focus is on becoming more employable and learning the skills I need to find good job opportunities and take steps toward a brighter future. And once I'm settled, I'm excited to follow my passion for cars and be the mechanic I always wanted to be.
