“We are living in financial uncertainty and my very bad state, it is on the floor. I used to work two jobs, but now I can’t work at all. I am used to earning money for my family.

“My wife lost her job when she came to the United Kingdom when I was in the hospital, now she has to help me with basic homework, how to shower and move around the house. I can’t spend the quality time with my son I used. A.

“I used to lead an active life and played football regularly to a fairly high standard: playing football was my refuge, where all my problems would disappear, but now I don’t know if I can return to that. I am very worried about the future.

“I’m still worried about my right leg, and a doctor here told me that if I had suffered this injury in Romania, I would have lost it. I am lucky to have been treated at Queen Elizabeth hospital, but I don’t know what the future holds. “
