Maya Gibbon was a busy science teacher at a Brighton secondary school two years ago. Since contracting Covid in the classroom, she has been mostly unable to get out of bed, struggling to adjust to life with a chronic health condition.
Unable to work, and with her husband now acting as her full-time carer, the couple were forced to live in a van for five months last year and are now facing homelessness again.
“This week is my two-year Covid anniversary and I honestly feel like the person I was died two years ago,” Maya says. “I have stopped doing practically everything I did before.”
