Stone set off his series of tweets with an explanation of the events which transpired shortly before he became homeless. He says he was almost 30 years old, working in the city and was "skint", single and suffering from depression.
His landlord increased his rent to a figure he couldn't afford, prompting Stone to ask work for a pay rise. He was refused. Stone then went to his local council for help, who turned him away.
"I asked the council for help, they said talk to my landlord. My landlord said talk to the council. Bastards," wrote Stone on Twitter.
He then describes how he went to sleeping rough in the local park.

"Tomorrow your rent could go up. Tomorrow inflation could rise. Tomorrow you could have an accident. All of us are one event away from ending up on the streets, looking up at passers by, wondering how did it come to this?" Stone toldMashable.
"Christmas is coming up, and it’s OK to give someone your time. And it’s OK to ask someone on the streets their story. If you ask enough, you’ll realise that the person you are talking to, is you," Stone continued.
