Thierry used to be a normal, happy-go-lucky, boy whose searing pace was almost as fast as the broad smile that so often graced his face. Playing football - and driving around in funny little French cars - was what he lived for.
Sadly, those days are gone.
Thierry went in search of a new life, full of dreams of glory which soon turned sour. Far away from his loved ones, he found himself alone on a bench in Barcelona - a faded shadow of his former self.
But there is hope. With your help, this summer Thierry can find new life and even, perhaps, escape from his Catalonian nightmare.
Please do what you can.
