Leslie is just 18, she says she and her Mum just didn’t understand each other. They fell out loads of times until finally her Mum hit her and threw her out.
Leslie is studying Art and Design in Fashion at college which she loves, but it’s really difficult to concentrate on your lessons when you’re homeless. She has a 6 year old cousin who came to live with them when her uncle died and she really misses him but she hasn’t been invited back for Christmas.
Leslie says she’ll have a lovely Christmas with her friends at Shelter from the Storm; if she wasn’t here she says, she’d be walking the streets.
