Socialworkers Stories

It's been two years since the Kettle sisters lost their mum, and life hasn't been easy. Their dad's fallen deep into his grief, and eleven-year-old Lily has been holding everything together - cooking, cleaning, and looking after her little sisters, Rosie, Clara, and Poppy. Now the girls are heading to Elm Tree House, and everything is about to change. When kind foster carers Matt and Christie Perry offer to take them all in, it feels like a fresh start - warm meals, a real home, and maybe even a bit of happiness. But Lily isn't sure she can trust it. She's spent so long being the grown-up that letting go feels impossible. Five-year-old Clara has her own struggles too. With autism, sensory needs, and Pica, the world often feels too bright, too loud, too much. She misses Alma Peregrine, her gentle SENCO social worker who always seemed to understand her in ways others can't. As the sisters try to settle into their new lives, each of them faces a choice - to hold on tight, or to open their hearts and take a leap of faith. Can Lily learn that love doesn't mean control? Will Clara find her voice in a new home? Or will the past pull them all apart again? The Kettle Sisters is a touching story about love, loss, and the strength of family - no matter what shape it takes. "Even the hardest goodbyes can lead to new beginnings," Alma Peregrine

Stressed. Depressed. Troubled. Angry. These are just a few words to describe the way I feel every hour of every day. The reality I live in sucks... A alcoholic mother, social workers up my ass all the time, death around every corner. I have no one anymore, only a few friends but that's enough, right?.. I'm not that old and I'm already suffering enough... But.. This Is me. Stressed. Depressed. Troubled. Angry.

This story is based on how I helped the homeless and destress to find a safe place to live while gaining recognition with the City of Memphis for my effort. Also, how it led into a profitable business of creating passive income streams through special needs housing

"How would you like to join your friend, Johnny?" The Soc on top slurred in my ear, smiling wickedly.The smell of whisky all too strong.
