We supported Lorna when she was sleeping rough in London. It's great to see her recovery; we're so proud of her successes.

you would pass this lady in the street and never guess how much she’s been through. Strong lady. I hope her life is blessed now

I wish this interview was longer! What an inspiring woman!

I’d be homeless if it wasn’t for my sister. I’ve always been odd, very shy, very anxious, smart in some areas, totally dumb in others. I overanalyze everything, incl having ‘just a job’ - it’s never ‘just’, nothing ever is. Everything - sleep, waking up, getting ready, taking the bus, being among other humans, food, hygiene, communication etc is loaded and very exhausting. For many years I tried the university, job, career thing but I’d fail each and every time; end up in the lowest mental and physical state. My sister took me in 12 years ago. It’s a complicated situation, but thankfully we were always close, so even though I feel awfully guilty about being dependent on someone else at age 47, I also know these are the last few good and fun years so I’ll make them the best for us all. Thanks for this video; I wish every one kindness. ❤

Intelligent and articulate and experienced - these are the people who we should be listening to to lift and protect those suffering the consequences of social inequities.

I watched this because we have an enormous homeless population in California so I felt it would be educational to hear from someone who had been homeless. We have so many people here trying to figure out what to do about the problem but no one's really talking to the folks that are homeless to see how they ended up in that situation and what they truly need. Thank you for sharing.

Can relate to the first minute... and to add to that I moved out of home at 14, became independent, got my first job and quit the naughty things soon after... Then met my girlfriend at the time she was 1 year older, went on till 18 then we had to move apart as her child emergency accommodation was stripped from her at 18.... 12 years later we reunite, now have 2 kids and it's been 6 years+ since the reuniting, we're both on the straight n narrow now and it's my oldest kids 3rd bday in a couple of days.. Oh how life changes... perspectives too...

What a journey this lady has been on, very relieved that some good people came along and gave her a chance to be the beautiful person she is today. I wish for her a life full of joy and stability.💕👍

I did roughly 12 years off and on being homeless, sleeping on the streets here in Melbourne Australia. It's been a little over 4 years since I got help and found a permanent home. I can relate to everything Lorna has talked about, including still feeling this shame or embarrassment all these years later. I hope people go see the documentary.

Fascinating. This series is amazing. Please keep them up.

Amazing! So brave to talk about your past.

Great interview. She is a brave woman.
