About Me
My Story
I am a single Black Woman recently retired, trying to survive on a very small government pension.
I have no savings and no stock or shares to supplement my income.
I am struggling to pay my rent which is £1,375.00 per month and currently I have rent arrears in excess of £7,500 and climbing.
I have recently been served with a notice of eviction and am hoping that my local council will find me a suitable place to live.
But, on the bright side, despite my hardship, I realize that things could be a lot worse. So I am counting my blessings and at the same time, I am hoping for the best, but quietly planning for the worst.

My Biography
Welcome, my name is Sarah M. Kerr, and I am an unknown Author and self-publisher.
As a way of formerly introducing myself to my audience and the world, I wish to provide you with a brief description of my life, from childhood to adulthood. I recently wrote an autobiographical book about my life, which is currently being re-relaunched. You should be able to purchase a copy in Amazon and book shops around the world within the coming months. Do get yourself a copy because I promise you, the contents of this book, is like nothing you have ever read before.
Introduction
It started with my birthplace in Jamaica and it includes details of a number of life-threatening accidents I encountered whilst growing up in the West Indies. When I was 13-years of age, I came to the United Kingdom to join my parents. I soon discovered that the life I had led in the West Indies was vastly different to the life I was about to live in the UK.
The life lessons I had learned in the Caribbean as a child had not prepared me for the challenges I would have to face in the UK. So, now living in the UK, I had to learn to face those problems on my own unflinchingly. Throughout the course of my childhood and into adulthood, I found myself being used and abused by people I loved and trusted. People who were supposed to love me and protect me, were abusing me both physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Later as I got older and went out into the world to fend for myself, I found that others within the community found other various ways to take advantage of me, mostly in the financial sense of the word.
It is a fact that I have failed in my attempts to seek justice for most of the wrongs that were done to me up to this point in my life. That was intended to weaken my resolve, to break me both mentally and physically. But no, failure did not break me, it did not make me weaker, it only gave me strength and increased my determination to seek and obtain justice in the areas where it is most lacking.
I am not seeking revenge or retribution for myself. I simply want to share my experiences with others in the hope that they will not make the same mistakes I have made in the past, or endure the hardships I myself Sarah M. Kerr have had to endure throughout my lifetime.
Someone once told me that “If you do nothing in the face of injustice, then you are just as guilty as those who bring about injustice in the world”.
I am Sarah M. Kerr,
Welcome to my world!
