The truth is, I didn’t stop driving because I wanted to.

Just the other day, I found myself in a situation at work that left me feeling completely unsupported — by management and by some of the other drivers. I came home shaken, crying… an absolute mess. I sat with it, let it settle, and in that moment, something broke in me:

I realised I had no choice but to walk away.

Not because I wanted to. 

Believe ne i loved this job.

I love my customers — they brighten my days and nights.

But in that moment, I saw clearly that the loyalty I had for others wasn’t returned.

And for someone living with C-PTSD, that kind of environment — where I feel unseen, unheard, and dismissed, while others are protected no matter their behaviour — is not one I can survive in.

Here in Warwick, there’s no option to drive independently. No alternative provider. No choice.

So I started this petition.

Not to stir drama. Not to fight. Not even out of spite.

But because when you’re backed into a corner like that — all you can do is speak up.

And when you realise there’s no other way to serve your community or your customers,

you do what women have always done:

You create one.

Thank you to everyone who’s stood by me.

If my story resonates, I’d be so grateful if you’d share it.

With love,
