Dressed in a borrowed white blouse and a pencil skirt worth £ 2, a girl named Kat came for an interview at a prestigious law firm in Manchester. Other applicants for the position were men in stylish suits and elegantly dressed women. In the law office, the authorities saw something in her, but they had no idea about the girl’s past. After all, before gaining the courage to answer the vacancy announcement in this company, she experienced real despair.
Unexpected success
By twenty-four, she had fled from a forced wedding with her unloved future husband, lived on the street and spent years in various shelters and dormitories. But all this time she had a desire to build a career. Her dream came true, and life took an unexpected turn. In the end, Kat climbed the corporate ladder and won a luxurious apartment worth £ 150,000. Now she has a gym, a movie theater and a launderette in her home.
How did Kat win the apartment?
The contest, in which Kat participated, was organized by the developer Salboy, which is part of the bookmaker Fred Don’s empire. The goal was to find a winner who would be passionate about this community. Kat was chosen from three hundred people. She received an unexpected phone call from Fred and burst into tears of joy. He told her that she had won. It literally changed Kat's whole life in a split second.
A new chapter in life
This success did not end there. The girl also met her love by the name of Zach Billingham and married him. She did not believe her happiness, because before that she had so many failures in life. Now she is a happy wife.
Kat childhood and youth
She was raised by her grandmother because her parents died when the girl was small. The future that was planned for her against the backdrop of all this was unpromising. When Kat was a teenager, grandmother wanted her to marry a man whom she had never met; he was thirteen years older than her. Kat refused.
At seventeen, she fled home. She was still ten minutes late after returning from college, and she got a scandal. After that, Kat left, and this was her first night when she slept in the park. Kat later received help from a charity that allocated her a bed in a dormitory.
She had a hard time, she still went to college. Once her tutor asked where her homework was, and in response she simply burst into tears and ran out of class. She had no job. After that, the head of the college took the girl to a shelter, bought her a duvet and groceries. Kat had to live with three people in the same room who were drug addicts. Therefore, she also ran away from there and just lived in the park. She was afraid that she would be beaten, and therefore did not sleep at night, but did so during the day, when she felt safer. She still recalls how cold she was then.
The difficult life of a tramp
She had nothing to eat, and she drank water in public restrooms. Over time, the girl again went to the shelter, but now she suffered from depression. Living in a shelter, she spent quite a lot of time in the company of former prisoners, among whom drug addiction and theft flourished.
She suffered for a long time, but then she realized that she still wanted to live and become a lawyer. Kat received help from a charity and was eventually placed in a new dormitory for women. But for some time she was in danger because of some people with whom she had previously communicated.
Her life was still derailed. The police told her that it would be better if she moved to another city.So Kat ended up at the Manchester Women's Shelter. She lived there for nine months. All women there were victims of domestic violence and forced marriages. Kat felt very lonely and knew no one. But later, she was able to get a job in the psychiatric service in Trafford. There, the girl lived alone in her own room and met a good guy.
New job
When Kat went for an interview with a law firm, she borrowed a blouse from her boyfriend’s mom Zack and bought an inexpensive skirt. That was all she could afford. She did not talk about her past at the interview, because she did not want to be given a job because of compassion. Now she works as an assistant lawyer and takes a seven-year course in law in real estate.
Helping the homeless
She likes her work, in addition, this company provided the girl with great support. Now she is going to use her abilities to help those who are homeless. She works in a beautiful office, but she is worried about the problems of tramps. In this regard, she launched a campaign to help the homeless in Manchester. She also calls on supermarkets to distribute half of the food to the homeless and plans to open a help and counseling center.
So Kat's story is incredible. She recovered from her hardships and is now very happy, as she was able to create a better life not only for herself, but also for homeless people.
