After a series of traumatic events turned Dusana’s life upside down, she found a home and support through ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµâ€™s. Now, Dusana and her two dogs, Zsa Zsa and Kiki, are safe and settled in one of our pet-friendly accommodations.
“Before losing my home, my father passed away, I had health issues, was attacked and went through a lot of other heartbreaking things.ÌýThen my landlord got dementia, and the decision was made to sell the houseÌýI’dÌýbeen in for 12 years. I was at rock bottom and only had ZsaÌýZsaÌýand Kiki for support.ÌýÌý
Finding somewhere that would accept the three of us was a huge issue. I was prepared to sit on the street and beg for someone to give shelter to us. IÌýcouldn’tÌýlive without them;Ìýthey’reÌýmy best friends.ÌýÌýÌý
ThankfullyÌýmy community mental health team introduced me to ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµâ€™s. I cried with happiness when they offered us a space.ÌýÌý
I feel likeÌýI’mÌýblossoming here and feel so safe with a roof over our heads. Some of my neighbours have started coming on our dog walks too, which has helped me make friends. It means everything to me thatÌýwe’reÌýstill together.â€Ìý
