Growing up there were 7 of us kids, four of us were to my biological dad and three were to my stepdad.
As far as I can remember mum and dad both worked very hard.
I was 18 when I met the father to my children, he started getting involved in the gangs.
I grew up in the waikato and i've got parents who have been the most supportive loving people out there.
My story begins about 21/22 years ago. I remember saying to the Lord, I really want to help women.
Growing up as a kid was fun as we had a father that liked to spend a bit of time in jail.
Growing up we didnt have much. We'd only get sandwiches so I became really good at stealing.
