Going to work is what makes me happy! I'm usually a shy and introverted person, but I've always been animated when working. However, I haven't been the same ever since I've had a back injury and housing issues.
I've had a history of homelessness ever since 2008 when I was sofa surfing and not having a stable place or sometimes not even a roof over my head for several years. I was fortunate enough to be housed by the council in 2021, but unfortunately, the property caught on fire, and the landlord decided to sell the property. It was as if I couldn't get a break; when things looked like it was progressing, everything got taken away from me. Since being homeless again my health issues have started to come back.
I'm grateful that I still have air in my lungs, another couple of minutes I might not have been so lucky. So I'm here for a second chance, a chance to pick myself up again and find a stable place to live.
