When I first came to New Hope House (NHH), I was in a very dark place. I was self-harming, suicidal and very angry. So many things had happened with my mum passing away, and I was always fighting with my dad, it was tough. I was at NHH for 3 months, and now I am leaving with a steady part-time job, a place at university, permanent accommodation, and I am back in contact with my family. I’m so proud of myself and very thankful to the staff at NHH.
