The purpose of this book is to provide firsthand accounts honestly told by the participants in volunteer-run Australian-registered charity On My Feet, using their own words and based on their own personal experience. These are accounts on the issues of homelessness and allegations of domestic violence. The reason for publishing these is to draw attention to the thesis of On My Feet, namely that empowering individuals to give them a hand up rather than a handout is the most dignified, powerful and effective way to address the underlying causes of homelessness.

"For six months it was wonderful. And then he changed and started to hit me. Sometimes so badly that I would pass out. I guess it's the same with all domestic violence cases. You think you can help. You think it's your fault. And he promises to change."

Fast forward 5 years and, of her involvement in On My Feet, the same participant says:

"I could write a book on how On My Feet has helped me grow. I have become a better person, a person who believes in herself, a person who is growing friendships, a person who pushes past her anxiety and negative thoughts. A happier person and a more confident person."
