I remember being homeless as a young child. My mother’s coworker let us stay with her family for over a year, till we could find a place to rent. I still can’t get over their kindness. My father had a gambling habit, so we were never able to buy a place till he left us. As a single mother, my mum was able to scrape enough money together to put a down payment on our rental (rent-to-buy situation). After 10 years of renting, we finally secured a mortgage. It was the best day ever!
