My Story — Why I Created Jump Up
“This isn’t a charity built from theory — it’s built from lived experience.”
There was a time when I lost everything — my home, my safety, my confidence.
I left a violent relationship, fought through the courts, and tried to rebuild my life with my young son. For a while, I thought I’d found love again — someone who understood struggle and loss. But behind the charm was addiction, chaos, and violence.
I watched everything I’d worked for fall apart.
There were moments I didn’t think I could go on.
I felt broken, ashamed, and alone.
But I kept fighting — for my son, for myself, and for the life we both deserved.
Through that journey, I discovered how hard it is to find real, human support — somewhere safe to talk, cry, ask questions, and rebuild from the ground up. That’s why I created Jump Up: a place for women and children to feel safe, seen, and supported.
This isn’t a charity built from theory — it’s built from lived experience.
From someone who knows what it’s like to lose everything, and what it takes to rise again.
Because no woman should have to face that journey alone.
Jump Up – where healing begins, one cup of tea at a time.
