I’ve Known Mr S for a number of years.

He is a man who faces many challenges in life. He struggles with addiction which has deeply affected his well-being. In our conversations he has shared his story about how he ended up homeless. His experiences reveal the harsh realities many people face when battling addiction. Understanding his journey helps to highlight the importance of compassion and support for those in similar situations.

He found himself in a frightening situation when drug dealers began delivering drugs to his home. At first he thought they would just come and go but they stayed longer than expected. He felt scared and powerless even when he tried to ask them to leave. Instead of listening they laughed at him making him feel even more trapped in his own home.

The police informed the council about Mr S’s situation which led to his eviction at the end of last year. Mr S had no family or friends to turn to for help leaving him with very few choices. With nowhere else to go he was forced to live on the street. This sudden change in his life created many challenges for him. Being homeless is not just about finding a place to sleep; it also means facing dangers and hardships every day.
