I have to share my good news.
A year ago, my life turned upside down when I lost my job, my home, my posessions and my car.
I ended sleeping rough for a while, then eventually got accepted to stay at a hostel for the homeless. It was the lowest point of my life. I decided there and then that i could either let my situation beat me or i could fight with all my will to get my life back.
Eventually I got myself a council flat and then i started working at the hostel as a full time unpaid volunteer. In the last five months I have helped to rehouse 17 People which gave me a great sense of self reward.
I now have a wonderful new relationship with a fantastic lady and even better, after 835 job applications I have landed myself a full time job.
I guess the moral of this is, never ever give up hope or bow down to adversity, because with a little patience and self belief, things will eventually improve.
Thank you.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments.
Last year i spent the whole of Christmas day cooking breakfast and a 3 course lunch for 25 hostel residents and even though my situation has improved and my life is back on track, I plan to do the same thing this year. Without the hostel I would have been truly lost. I owe them everything.
