Description:
A homeless woman in Birmingham says living in a bus shelter with her boyfriend and mum is safer than being put in temporary housing with drug addicts.<br/>Destiny Mitchell moved into the 3m (9.8ft) by 1m (3.2ft) glass and metal shelter in Selly Oak, Birmingham, seven months ago.<br/>The 26-year-old, who has autism, lives in the disused bus stop on Bristol Road with boyfriend Ryan, 31, and her 44-year-old mum.<br/>Destiny says the council offered them temporary accommodation but she does not want to be separated from her mum who also has autism.<br/>The trio have tried to give the graffiti-covered shelter home comforts with a carpet, drawers and even an old pair of Super Mario curtains where the timetables were once displayed.<br/>They have also been given garden chairs, a bin and sleeping bags from wellwishers.<br/>She says the three of them use sellotape and cardboard given to them by students to patch up leaks in the roof and walls of their shelter.
