Guest description:Danielle Jones's son Harvey was seven years old when he died on an ordinary Tuesday evening in September 2018. He was walking along a wall at their local pub when he came into contact with a live electrical casing -- the result of 32 safety defects that experts later described as the worst they had encountered in over 40 years. The pub owner was convicted of gross negligence manslaughter. Danielle has spent the years since fighting for mandatory electrical safety inspections in public places, raising two more children, and training as a sound healer and Reiki practitioner. Harvey's campaign has gathered over 55,000 signatures. This is her story. Sponsor message:This episode is brought to you by RevitaLash Cosmetics.

She went on to become one of Britain's most recognised Page 3 models and appeared on Celebrity Big Brother. In 2017, her iCloud was hacked and intimate images were shared publicly without her consent -- an experience that brought her to the edge again. What followed was a years-long journey through motherhood, her daughter's severe eczema, ayahuasca in the Amazon, and a spiritual awakening that she is still navigating today.

She went to Tanzania at 18 to help children. She ended up raising fifteen of them.

Letty McMaster was 18 years old when she travelled to Tanzania to volunteer at an orphanage. What she found there stopped her in her tracks. The children were being kept in deliberate poverty -- a cycle of neglect designed to attract donations from Western volunteers, with the staff taking the money for themselves. Letty stayed. She learned Swahili. She exposed the abuse. When the local council shut the orphanage down, she was registered as the legal guardian of nine children who had nowhere to go. She was 22 years old. Over the next ten years, Letty raised fifteen children in a family home she set up and ran herself in Tanzania. She founded Street Children Iringa, which now supports three houses -- a family home, a safe house welcoming over 100 street children a year, and a newly opened home for young mothers living on the streets. The children she raised have gone on to university, professional boxing, and international football. One of them achieved the best A-level results in the country and is now studying civil engineering at the University of Cape Town. This is one of the most remarkable stories we have heard on Everything Changed.
