Hi my name is Jack the creator and owner of wildforageruk growing up for me was tough due to having ADHD and autism I was very troubled and faced many challenges I ended up in care at a young and was moved around quite often to different places around the uk which had huge unsettling impacts on my life because I found it very difficult to cope with changes I ended up in a care home called hill crest eventually in hay on wye in south wales which was a residential care home my time there was difficult and I faced tough times on a daily basis being a English lad surrounded by Welsh lads all being together and going through our own difficulties I was often a target for others so I would often escape runway nd go missing and eventually be found by the police and taken back by them or even social services because believe it or not some times I’d actually make it all the way back from wales walking through fields long roads from hay on wye to Hereford and then sneaking on the train all the way back to reading or Bracknell Berkshire I ended up going to prison eventually from a young age untill I was 18 when I was released I turned my life around and became a deep sea fisherman and done it for years but faced problems and child hood trauma and because of care and prison I had my child hood taken away from me and it’s just been a constant battle of ups and downs and highs and lows and I’d be in a great journey doing really well and a soon as it’s going really well things will instantly crash again and this has been happening all my life keeping this short but giving you a insight in 2020 I walked out of my door and didn’t even know who I was any more nothing felt real i felt like I had become disconnected from my body and soul I walked to the koror way bridge that I had been going to bed day for the last 6 days asking for help and being refused and even arrested for causing a danger to high ways when I got to the bridge I attempted my life I know I didn’t want to hurt nobody else so I don’t it into the side lay-by and there I was fighting crushed and broken spent a year in hospital major surgery and complications blood clots u name it when I left hospital ii moved to West Sussex and I was unable to walk and the injuries I caused from the jump to my left leg were the most severe my right foot leg were recovered from the breaks and fractures the fracture to my spine t12 wedge fracture was recovered and the break in part of my back was recovered but still uncomfortable and painful but my left leg had recovered and in the same way as my right leg just my left foot was so severe and I had broken and smashed every part and bone inside they wanted amputate my left leg because of the foot I refused I met a lady on her lunch break in my locks town playing the piano and I sat and listened and I knew when I see her I was in love and I believe in love at first sight I’m not sure if you reading right now do but it’s honestly possible I ended up speaking with this lady and she asks me what had happened to me and I told her she originally came to the uk from china and she worked online and done Chinese medicine and she said she could help me md she made this long base paste from comfrey and I used to wrap my foot in it every day for months and it helped heal my bone we fell in love and she got me.
