No mother ever expects to raise her children without a home — but that’s exactly what happened to Danielle, a mum-of-three from West London.

When her landlord sold the flat she rented, Danielle was suddenly homeless. What followed was a year of constant moving — four different places in twelve months. “When I arrived at the first hotel, all we had was a kettle,” she told the BBC.

With nowhere stable, her children — Callum, 7, Harper, 4, and little Cameron — were forced to wake at 5:30am to reach school after being moved miles away. “I ended up sitting in Tesco’s café with my kids, calling my housing officer over and over,” she said.

Now living in a small two-bed flat, Danielle still fears another eviction notice at any moment. “I could get a call and have 24 hours to leave,” she explained softly.

Her story has touched thousands online — a reminder that homelessness isn’t just about poverty. Sometimes, it’s about ordinary families caught in an impossible system.

Because every child deserves a safe place to call home.
