British Mother’s Spanish Dream Turns Sour
A British mother’s aspiration for a fresh start in Spain has taken a tragic turn as she finds herself homeless on the streets of Costa del Sol. Hannah Parker, a 39-year-old woman, is now grappling with her health as she is compelled to sleep rough in Marbella.
Legal Battle Over Child Custody
Adding to her woes, Parker is embroiled in a legal dispute with the Spanish authorities after losing custody of her two-year-old son, Sonny. She describes her situation as dreadful and akin to a nightmare. With the weather getting colder, she is increasingly fearful.
Life on the Streets
Parker, who has been sleeping rough in San Pedro Alcantara, Marbella, for over six months, is desperate for a normal life. She is currently washing herself in a gas station and is eager to find a job to support herself and her children.
Struggles in Spain
Parker has been residing in Spain for several years but found herself unable to pay her rent when her boyfriend abandoned her last year. This led to her inability to care for her son Sonny, who was taken into foster care in March. Her mother, a UK resident, has recently initiated a legal case to regain custody of her grandson.
Legal Troubles and Uncertain Future
Parker’s troubles don’t end there. She was involved in a car accident and is due to appear in court as a person was injured in the incident. She is currently without her passport, which has been confiscated, and is awaiting a court date. She feels trapped in Spain and is shocked at how quickly her life has spiralled out of control.
Plight of the Homeless
Parker points out that she is not alone in her predicament. There are many homeless people, including Brits, in Spain. She believes that this issue affects more people than one might think.
Ready to Work
With significant experience as a waitress and barmaid, Parker is ready to take on any job that comes her way. She is eager to get her life back on track and is grateful for any assistance she can get.
