Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
Kicked, spat at, sleeping rough isn’t the kind of life Darren wants, but he has no option. Fate dealt him a bad hand and there is nothing he can do about it. None of it is his fault; not losing his job, nor getting evicted. What did he do to deserve any of this? A chance meeting with a Good Samaritan makes him sit up and take stock, but is it too late to turn things around? Only time will tell.
