I’m 24 years old, paralysed from the waist down, and I’ve been in 7 different hospitals since my injury in January 2026.

I have been medically fit to leave since May. It is now September — so why am I still here?

Because Haringey Council has failed to find me a safe, accessible home.

I have followed every instruction I’ve been given. I’ve completed an unimaginable amount of assessments, joined the housing list I was told to join, provided everything requested and repeatedly chased Haringey Housing and adult social care about my discharge.

Yet months later, I’m still stuck in hospital.

My emails and calls have repeatedly gone unanswered. I’ve been passed between departments. I’ve even been told there are properties available, only to be told I’m on the “wrong list”  the very list I was told to go on.

I have now been told I am likely to still be in hospital at Christmas and even after that.

I have repeatedly explained that being stuck here for so long is affecting my mental wellbeing. I am medically fit, but I am watching my life pass by from a hospital bed.

And despite being medically ready to leave, the hospital I’m currently in has not provided me with the physiotherapy and rehabilitation I need to keep progressing. Without my mum taking time away from work to support me, I fear I would have been left with no opportunity to continue my rehabilitation.

I am 24. I should be rebuilding my life not spending Christmas in hospital because nobody can find me an accessible home.

I am not asking to be discharged somewhere unsafe. I am asking Haringey Council and the services involved in my discharge to work together and find a safe, genuinely wheelchair-accessible home now.

I have waited. I have cooperated. I have followed instructions. I have chased. I have asked for help.

How much longer am I expected to wait?

When I say I feel like Haringey Council has left me to rot, I mean it.

I don’t want sympathy. I want action.
