I've been homeless on a few occasions.
I was planning on my future as a homeless person. I had a really good spot picked out.
I was homeless for a little bit. I was on people's couches, but it was an amazing journey. I got to make people laugh all the way.

I was 21 and homeless - such a broken, lost woman.
My father was in the civil service. I can remember standing in a bus shelter in the pouring rain, and that we were allowed candy floss at the end of the holiday if we had behaved.

I wanted to help women and their families.
