Moana Hope

I'm gay, but I'm not changing that.

And so my mate, one of my mates who I will love for the rest of my life, her name was Nikki Graves.

She was the lady that was also the manager of the footy club I was playing for down at Darabin.

And she was like, Mo, come and live with me.

And she gave me my first ever bed like I'd never had a bed before.

Yeah, it was crazy.

And all the slats in place.

And your own room.

I was like, what even is this?

So much room for activities.

Where am I?

And she gave me my wardrobe, like a wardrobe that was built-in wardrobe.

I was like, it's my wardrobe.

I've never had a wardrobe.

She brought me clothes and then she paid for me to go get my tickets to work as a traffic controller and help me get a job.

And I remember she would buy me pizza every Friday, and it was the first time I had pizza.

And I just loved it.

I was just like, this is the most incredible thing.

Like, you know, you are helping me.

And I'd not received help before, so I just silently took it, which was nice.
