山谷で暮らす〜フジサワさんの話 (Voices from Sanya: Fujisawa-san)
フジサワさんは、結YUIのメンバーです👥Fujisawa-san is a member of the YUI Associates Inc.
そのきっかけとなったのは、結YUIの活動であるゴミ拾いを手伝ったことでした💪It all started when he helped with a trash pickup, one of YUI's volunteer activities.
複雑な家庭環境のもとに生まれ、幼い頃に叔父に万引きを教えられた彼は、その手癖が治らずに、人生の約半分を刑務所で過ごしていました。そして、山谷へ来て生活保護を受けて暮らしていたのです。Born into a complicated family environment, he was taught to shoplift by his uncle at early childhood. Unable to break the habit, he ended up spending nearly half of his life in prison. And, He had moved to Sanya and was living on social welfare.
そんな彼はこう言いました。This is what he had to say.
「オーナーに会った時、自分にとってのターニングポイントだなと思ったの。」"When I met the owner, I knew it was a turning point for me."
オーナーというのは一般社団法人結YUIの代表理事を務める義平真心さんのこと。By "the owner," he means Magokoro Yoshihira, who serves as the representative director of YUI.
「義平さんに自分の過去を全て話した時、人間誰しも間違いがある。でも、やり直すことがいつでもできるのだと言ってもらえたんです。」
When I told Yoshihira-san everything about my past, she told me that everyone makes mistakes, but that it's always possible to start over.
義平さんがフジサワさんに出会った時、彼からは自分の人生を何とかしたいという切実さを感じたと言います。When Yoshihira-san first met Fujisawa-san, she said she could sense a deep sense of urgency in him—a desperate drive to claw his way up from the bottom.
フジサワさんはこれまでの人生の中で家族の縁を失い、自己否定の意識と闘い続けてきました。しかし、そうした意識や盗癖は、結YUIが居場所となり彼と絆を築くことで克服につながっています❤️🩹
Having lost the connection to his family at a young age, Fujisawa-san struggled with a deep-seated sense of self-hatred. Yet, YUI became the home he never had, and the bonds he formed there have led him to overcome his past struggles, including his kleptomania.
結YUIは支援を一方的に提供するだけでない関係性を町の中で築いています。フジサワさんが自ら変わりたいと思って始めたボランティア活動に伴走することが、彼が居場所を見つけるきっかけとなったのです👀🏘️
YUI aims for a community of mutual support rather than one-way assistance. By walking alongside Mr. Fujisawa as he started volunteering out of his own desire to change, YUI provided the foundation for him to discover a genuine sense of belonging.
