“They supported me. They got me clothes, they got me food and said, ‘You're safe now.’ That’s what St Mungo’s does. They keep people safe.”
.
When Sophia was evicted from her flat, she found herself sleeping rough at just 22 years old.
.
“The scariest part was the park at nighttime, it would be absolutely pitch black and I could hear noises.”
.
Sophia says rough sleeping as a woman is, “100% different. A lot of people offer you money for sexual favours. I’d say no, even though I needed the cash. But some men see a vulnerable woman and use that to their advantage.”
.
Thanks to supporters like you, Sophia was referred to St Mungo's and received the help she needed to rebuild her life.
.
Now, she's considering giving back by becoming a support worker herself.
