Hi my name is Rachel i have been sleeping rough in a tent now for just under 4 weeks , i started at the end of august as the weather hasn't been so bad to do a test to see if i could cope for 4 weeks before i did the 3 months from October to the end of December having no access to any facilities,The last month has been hard having boil a pan on a small fire pit I have made so I can have a hot brew or hot food mainly noodles .i have been buying bottled water and food and allowing myself the amount a single person would get if i were claiming universal credit. I did the month from the end of August to see if I could manage that and have decided that i am going to carry on now and do the 3 months till the end of December. I would like to raise £20.0000 so i can buy a large quantity of essential items for the homeless including tents sleeping bags tarpaulins warm clothing decent footwear , toiletries etc tampax ,razors ,thick socks, underwear , basic food, also some goodie packs with sweets chocolate etc & hopefully if i raise enough money set up a charity called WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS as I don't the government have the homeless on there list of priorities.

The reason i am doing this is my son and i were 2 days from being homeless as my landlord tried to evict me illegally but thankfully i won in court and was housed 2 days after the court case & also my friend who was a rough sleeper in Bradford died ,and the most obvious reason is that NO ONE SHOULD BE HOMELESS , I will be donating to the homeless in Bradford, Leeds , Manchester ,and other near by cities.

I hear about people doing a charity event where they sleep out for 1 night or a week to raise money for the homeless which is all very well but isn't really grasping the gravitas of being homeless. Anyway I will be in my tent till the end of December and will not be having Xmas dinner at home sat round a table as the homeless people don't so i will be living as the homeless You may question why I'm doing it in my garden that being i suffer with severe social anxiety and depression so i can't go onto the streets to do this so i am doing it nearby my home in a pice of land , if anyone would like videos of me pics or just to send me a message to keep me going you could contact me on
