TA's Personal Story

My story starts back when I was in my 20’s

I had found my self living away from my family and there was a potential of my mom and dad were looking at separating and I was living with a family friend who was helping me out, but for a bit I was living out of my car as I didn’t want to be a pain or put pressure on a family friend.

I was living out of my car it was the only thing I had besides my clothes that I had with me and a few bits and pieces and was struggling to find work where I was living at the time I didn’t have enough money to return back home to be with my family at this period.

I was moving from spot to spot in my car with the little money I had but to be away from my family during this period was hard with the unknown of whether my parents were still going to be together when I did eventually get home.

I was also struggling because I had a loan that was stacking up and didn’t know how to deal with it with no work. I did eventually go and talk with my family friend that I knew in the area I was living and he assisted me till I got back home.

I did land back on my feet though and even though I was still struggling I found work and started to get my life back on track. It wasn’t an easy period of my life living off bare minimums to repay all my debt back as I didn’t want to lose the vehicle I had cause it got me through so much.

I can successfully say that I have since turned my life around and have worked hard to do it and scraping by but the main thing is I got there through the help of a very dear family friend that pushed me to be better and am sitting in a much better spot. If it wasn’t for that family friend I don’t know if I would of gotten through it
