Another soul on the streets, Ben talks about his story of being homeless & being between backpackers in Melbourne City ,waiting for housing for over 3 - 4 years, sleeping on the streets and asking people for donations, he talks about the loss of his parents among other things that made a huge impact in his life in a negative way, he spent many years moving place to place in foster homes as a child, only to be let down by them, he has more to share in the future and we will be getting into specifics of his past experiences to get a better understanding for everyone. I really hope I have conveyed enough to the audience to tell a little about him so you can grasp the gravity of his situation. I couldn't imagine having no parents and being moved from foster home to foster home as a child, that must of been so hard on Ben. My heart goes out to him, he is an amazing human being down on his luck, he is bright & I really think Ben has a future, waiting on housing so his dog missy has a place to rest while Ben can get the appropriate assistance he needs, he also wants to eventually look for work when he gets his home, that's what Ben wants, security of a home so he has a roof over his head so he can get a job and work, and doesn't have to worry about where he will be sleeping for the night.
I was a heroin addict for 15 years of my life, it's hard living with bipolar disorder, among other problems, I also grew up with dyslexia. Even though I've never begged for money, I was committing crimes that I've been charged with and sentenced for, to fund my heroin addiction. I'm now clean and have a family of my own, I want to educate people from my past experiences, helping people & the youth.
