Last time we visited Vicki Pinter and her 16-year-old son, they were living in a tent in the woods. “It felt very hopeless,” says Vicki. “My son knew one person here, who he’d met through online gaming. They gave us one hot meal a day which kept us alive.”
Now 62, Vicki, who was trafficked from Serbia to Cannock, Staffs, has a home and a job as one of the warehouse managers at the Trussell Trust foodbank run by the Pye Green Christian Centre.
“The community helped us, now I can help too,” she says. “I know what it’s like to be homeless and cold, feeling alone.”
