I was 5 months pregnant and homeless with my toddler, and I was treated very poorly by Barnet Council. I had to chase them every single day just to find out where I would be staying, as they were only booking one-night hotel stays. It was exhausting and incredibly stressful having to move around constantly with my child and all our belongings. Eventually, I was told they didn’t know where I would go next, and I was left street homeless with my toddler. I felt completely helpless. I was so desperate that I was planning to stay overnight in a hospital waiting area just so we would have somewhere safe and warm. Then I reached out to an amazing solicitor for urgent help. Demi listened to my story with compassion and took immediate action by contacting Barnet Council on my behalf. Because of her quick and professional intervention, the council provided me with a temporary flat instead of making us move from hotel to hotel every night. I cannot thank Demi enough for stepping in when I had lost hope. She truly changed our situation in such a short time. May God bless her always for everything she has done for me and my children.
