Story

My Story:

My Name is Michael Boyne, I didn’t have the best start in life I grew up in Foster Care and things didn’t go well for me there. After leaving Care things only worsened I started to Suffer from severe mental health problems and at times suicidal and depressed, years went on and I started developing physical issues with my spine from previous injuries.The trauma from my past experiences in foster care resurfaced and I became really lonely and isolated, I stopped talking to people and shut myself off from everyone and everything. Then I Found Carr Gomm  through their dedicated support plan and the amazing staff, they helped me overcome obstacles and I am now able to get out more and enjoy the things I love and make new friends. 

Thank You Carr Gomm For All Your Support!!

Please help in any way you can so others can receive the same help that myself and many others have received.


Thank You All For Reading My Story.
