Having left care at the age of 17, Max was now living in a flat on his own, but the world immediately began to cave in around him.
People he thought were friends began to call round, to borrow money and then to beat him up. Max thought the abuse was inevitable. What was he worth anyway? He couldn’t speak up and he still thought these people were his friends. Max couldn’t find a voice, he was abused, scared and alone in life apart from his beloved dog.
But then…
Max began to attend the agriculture project at Caring For Life. Working with animals was all Max had ever wanted to do, because animals listen, and they just want care and affection.
