JUST ANOTHER STATISTIC

That’s what she is,

God bless her she was a tortured soul,

One of life’s unfortunates that slipped through the net,

It wasn’t her fault she was just failed by the system,

Destined for the dark side and nobody cared,

She deserved so much more than this,

A tough and rough life,

a life of pain and misery,

Nothing easy or happy,

oh no! not for this girl,

No handouts or kindness,

no love or protection,

Just the need to survive another miserable day,

Until her days ran out.

Fly high 🙌

I'm Karen from Manchester it's great to meet you all. I'm a recovering alcoholic,
I experienced a short time of homelessness many years ago, I'm a survivor of domestic abuse and I'm happy to say I've come through it all.
I volunteered at a local Alcohol and Substance Abuse centre where I qualified as a Peer Mentor.
I now care for my elderly dad who is housebound and I feel blessed to be able and well enough to do this.
I hope as part of this Community Reporting team our stories can contribute to making a difference to homelessness and health inequalities and shine a light on any other injustices we come across.
