    The closing date on the Givealittle page has been extended as I have agreed to tell our story to That's Life Magazine. What happened to us has in many ways totally changed our lives and I hope by doing this that we are able to raise public awareness and try and get change to the system that failed and allowed us to fall through the cracks. It is something that I am passionate about because people matter and I would hate to see someone else go through the hell we have been through. Sometimes we need to stand up for our beliefs and values and for me has always been central to my faith as a Christian is that we need to stand up and fight injustice no matter the cost. And I know by doing this I will be judged. But I did the best I could.

    And since no one is going to read this anyway I have some stuff I want to say. Since when is it OK that a child has to sleep on a slide in a park because the people you believed would make an effort to support her weren't there and could not give 5 minutes of their time to pick up the phone or send a text. And the family you have always believed in left her to be supported by the agency that people always look at as ogres who tear families apart. They were the ones who actually came to her rescue and made sure she had a roof over her head and somewhere safe to stay. And when I cried out for help for her the church I always believed stood for compassion and living a Christlike life left a 15 year old to deal with her own issues and try and look after a dying mum. I am broken because the society I always believed was basically good at heart has proved me wrong. The people I trusted to be there weren't and the one man who would never have allowed this to happen is gone. My Dad would , like me, have moved heaven and earth to keep our beautiful girl safe and secure and loved and protected through a horrendous time in her life. Instead she got thrown to the wolves. And the truly heartbreaking thing is I have taught her to stand up for what is right and good and fight against what is unjust. But what has happened to her is patently unjust and I am so so proud of the strength and resilience and courage she has displayed. You

    will always be my world honey xxxx

    The photo I have included in the gallery is my gorgeous feisty and strong daughter.

    This is our bathroom to date☺ I am doing up the old wash stand I had and have almost finished sanding the top. Then to be varnished and basin put in properly and tapware. Just wanted to be able to say I had done something for my bathroom. The toilet is second hand and was given that long before the bathroom debacle. Going to whitewash and varnish the floors. The guys have been doing an awesome job and am so so grateful ☺ it will look amazing😊
