My Road to Homelessness

November 26, 2018 — 0 Comments

Thanks for joining me!

I’m Gretel. This isn’t my real name but my story is very real and I want to share it in the hope that it might help someone.

A bit about me. I am in my 40’s, I have 2 children and I run my own business.

I am also an ex street kid.

I haven’t talked very much about my childhood and the fact that I was homeless, in the legal definition of the word, for many years. So, why am I telling my story now?

There are a few things that have made me want to open up but the main reason is simple: if there is a young person out there who is where I was – who feels there isn’t a way out of their situation – I want to show them there is. I’m proof there is hope for everyone.

I never thought I would be able to live the life I am now. I’m the happiest, most content and at peace I’ve ever been. My life is far from perfect and it’s taken me a very long time to get to this point, but I’m here – me, just an ordinary person, not some superwoman.

So how did I get here? I believe it’s because of certain choices I have made over the years, and this is why I want to share my story.

From Homelessness to Happiness
