There are some people who come into your life and simply stand beside you when you need them most. Martin Turner is one of those people.

Martin, over the last year and a half, you have been there through the highs and the lows, through the good days and the very dark ones. We have talked about Justice Is Served countless times, shared ideas, and watched this book slowly become a reality.

When I had lost so much and couldn’t afford the £1,500 needed to get this book published, you stepped up and helped make it possible. But your support has meant far more to me than money ever could. You believed in me, you believed in the book, and you never stopped encouraging me to keep going.

So, Martin, this is my way of saying thank you. Thank you for standing by me, for believing in me, and for being there through thick and thin. I will never forget it.

When I became homeless, I was in a really dark place. I had lost everything. I had no money, and nothing to buy food with.

Ruhul, you gave me a roof over my head by providing me with a room in an HMO, and you brought food parcels round so that I could eat. Yes, housing people is your job, but you went above and beyond to help me.

And it wasn’t just giving me somewhere to live and food to eat. You gave me so much of your time, sitting down with me and talking to me when I was at my lowest. That, I will never forget.
