The will to get out

If Brigitte had always wanted to get out of it, she fought hard to get there. After difficult passages in shelters, she finally ends up meeting people who provide her with constructive help. In this case the members of the association "Captives". They help him write a resume, cover letters to find a job ... "Even if you have a fierce desire to get out of the street, it's very difficult to get back in. These are all people's words. who encouraged me, supported me, who one day came to the surface and gave me the strength to move. "

The path was long and difficult, but today at 45, thanks to the valuable support of this association, Brigitte got a job, a small apartment where she can finally sleep in peace. She regains her taste for a normal life slowly, because one does not come out unscathed from the street. If she is well physically, she remains psychologically marked by this experience. Her employers know her story, do not judge her on her past but simply on her skills. She sees from time to time her former galley companions in Paris, including Samy, whom she loved but who has not managed to win alcohol and the street. Brigitte still does not feel strong enough to go to them, especially that in their eyes, leaving this world is lived as a betrayal.
