Currently I'm in temporary accommodation, I went from a caravan in the middle of nowhere, to supported housing, became victimised and was then moved to a secure accommodation. It's not too bad here, got fast internet, a washing machine and everything else I've missed. Thanks to all the support to everyone who commented and gave me congratulations.
