In 2009, VC left home after an altercation with his father. He was 22 years old at the time, fresh out of National Service, with no income source other than odd jobs from his friend’s father. He was an only child, and his father had also left the family estranged from other relatives.
“My father was a compulsive hoarder and had anger issues; even my mother had left him and me a few years back. My wider family avoids him. I didn’t even know my uncle’s face and my grandparents’ faces until three years ago, if you can believe it. My home environment was totally unlivable; sometimes the police were called twice a night when we fought.”
VC made only around $50 a day, or roughly $700 to $800 a month, running odd jobs for his friend’s father.
“This was mainly small things like following him in the truck and helping to unload water at different places, or washing the truck. He also didn’t speak English well, so I’d help to read and send emails for him. But some days there was no work.”
