As a bright 15 year old, Maja led a full life, loved sport, had a boyfriend and went to a reputable private school. However, Maja’s relationship with her parents was fractured, which led to her leaving the family home. With only a backpack and in her summer pyjamas, Maja started her long journey to find somewhere to call home.In each episode of the “Unlikely” podcast series we will share the story of an unlikely person who, after an unexpected or life-changing event, found themselves living in poverty. We’ll also talk to the charity who supported them along their journey.Hosted by Bree Element, journalist, mental health advocate and passionate storyteller, the “Unlikely” podcast series has been produced by online charity GIVIT as part of Anti Poverty Week.
