I used Tiktok frequently (@sarahmills_ats) like many over the last year, I had built up my followers sharing videos of my daughter and I singing, and my journey into shifting my mindset.  Two months ago my family and I became homeless. I am a single mum with three children, all have additional needs so I decided to share our journey through homelessness and to try and break the stigma around this issue. No one is talking about it and I feel someone needs too as the issue is growing daily.

I had an amazing response and last check saw me sitting at around 42,000 followers. We would do a daily post usually dancing to share our story. Thousands of people loved seeing this and looked forward to these videos. I had so many homeless families finally felt heard. And the love we received daily reminded me to keep going and that I’m enough. I can truly say I wouldn’t have made it this long without the support we have on the platform.

I have been bullied for years because of my social media presence, however the last month I have been bullied harder than ever. So many people telling me I’m faking being homeless, and suggesting I don’t deserve my kids. They constantly reported my videos and accounts and recently during a live stream, my whole account was banned. No way to appeal. Nothing.

I have been emailing and tagging and have had no response. I am heartbroken to have lost so many memories and I am trying so hard to have the account restored.
