Chick is the youngest of the original three siblings. She lives with her daughter, Leah in a flat close to the others. Over the years, Chick has been homeless on several occasions, living in temporary accommodation in various places while doing her best for herself and her daughter.  She likes to look through shop catalogues, browse them intently, looking at all the things she would like for her house, to make it her home.

Kellie is the middle child of the original three siblings.  Kellie had a job but the hours wouldn’t fit in with her need to be there for her children outside of school. It is this inability to find options, options that help you on, keep you better, financially and mentally. It is like a shut door and the only one open leads to a drop.

Liam runs around, he jumps up high, seeing how far he can reach.

Leah on her Primary 7 Prom Night At age ten, Leah had lived in over ten different places. With grandparents, family, homeless accommodation. Leah is strong and proud and determined. Sparkling. Here is where she feels settled. This is home.
