So its been a couple of weeks since I last posted.
Life has been in the fast lane! I have been very busy at work, and also busy from the results of my blog being read ALOT and my article being released by The Guardian.
Most of my work has been contacting Care Leavers about a bursary, which has been great but also alot of foot work.
What has kept going was the results from the Care Leavers and the appreciation from them for my help with the forms and such.
Even though I have not met any of these young people I feel the need to make sure I can help and protect them.
It does sadden me that not more people feel like this, there are alot of rich people out there and alot of those people waste their money on things that in all honesty you could do with out... I mean underfloor heating.. for your dogs?!
Even if each page view I have had donated £10 then there would over 6 grand of money. Seems silly really.
One day I would like to be in a position where I can make a difference, not just a small difference but a BIG difference... like making sure every care leaver gets financial help... like making sure that just because you were adopted doesn't mean that you should not get help and assistance... those years in care don't just disappear.
I find myself in a difficult position, the more I get involved with this work, the more I want to do, but the more I see I cannot do.. and as my manager would say.. I have to manage my expectations, instead I feel guilty for not being able to do more.
It makes it harder that I know what its like to be a care leaver, I know the pain the frustration.
Now I am going to take advantage of having a week off work and enjoy the sun while it lasts!
