Danny . M

My Name is Danny I am 32 years old and I am currently reside with my dad. For a large majority of my life I was street homeless. I was unfortunate growing up in my childhood, and I became exposed to a life of crime which I continued throughout my teenage years, it became a norm to steal a can opposed to paying for it. But it took a little while of using party drugs to realise I had created a madness of a life. I ended up in prison as one of my consequences for the way I was living, by no rules, This turned out to be a complete culture shock and I quickly had to alternate my ways to survive my sentence. On my release from prison I was left homeless, I remember the feeling of emptiness and being lost and confused. This was definitely something people should never have to go through. I eventually secured a place in a hostel but the way their rehabilitation structure worked, it brought back some of the memories and trauma I had witnessed while being in prison. So I decided to leave and head for the street. I was still all about me and no one else , then I realised a friend is what I needed and I was very fortunate enough to have one by my side the whole time through. With a little bit of a break and a new understanding I found myself back at home with my family in a way I loved and appreciated and I have now secured a job and I am on my way to securing my dream.
