A homeless woman says living in a bus shelter with her boyfriend and mum is safer than being put in temporary housing with drug addicts.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;Destiny Mitchell moved into the 3m (9.8ft) by 1m (3.2ft) glass and metal shelter in Selly Oak, Birmingham, seven months ago.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;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.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;Destiny says the council offered them temporary accommodation but she does not want to be separated from her mum who also has autism.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;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.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;They have also been given garden chairs, a bin and sleeping bags from wellwishers.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;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.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;Destiny says they slept in a doorway of a Greggs but moved into the bus stop after being moved on by the police. &#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;Speaking today, she said: “When we found this place it was my idea to create this living space. &#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“Before I lived in a bus stop, I was sleeping in a blanket on the floor, but I didn&#39;t feel safe. &#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“I’ve been living here for seven months. Before that we lived near Greggs before the police moved us on. &#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“Because we’re not students they don&#39;t have housing for us. &#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“There’s three of us in here, me, my partner and my mum. This is all new to me, I used to live in a tent. &#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“I’ve been homeless for two years off and on. At one point our tent got burnt down.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“I’m from Wolverhampton and I had a flat but bad things happened and I had to leave it and was made homeless. That’s when we came to Selly Oak. &#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“I saw this bus stop out of use. It was cold and starting to rain. We’ve had to sellotape the roof to stop the rain getting in. &#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“The students help me sellotape the windows, I’ve got a chest of drawers, a carpet.”&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;The family will now have to move out after Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) announced it was demolishing the bus shelter within weeks.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;Destiny added: “They’ve said we’ve got a month left and they’re going to destroy it. &#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“I’ve been in here a long time, I don’t want them to destroy my home, we haven&#39;t got anywhere else to live. &#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“If the council doesn’t help us we’re going to try and move into another bus stop. &#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“We wanted to get a caravan. We don’t want to go into a shared house because of drug users. We don’t want that, we don&#39;t use drugs. It&#39;s not safe for us.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“They are saying they won’t house my mum and us together. My mum’s disabled.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“I want them to house us before they take the bus shelter down.&#60;br/&#62; &#60;br/&#62;“I just want to make sure we all stay together as a family, that’s all I want.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“Nobody gives me any money. I haven’t got any clothes, I haven&#39;t got a bra on. &#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;“No one gives me any money to buy what I need. They give me food but I need clothes too.
