Leonie MacCracken

A FORMER drug-addicted prostitute who is now a support worker is using the message of love to help others reclaim their lives. Leonie McCracken, 37, was doing her masters in health science at university when she started working in a brothel. “A lot of the reason I went into it was childhood sexual abuse,” she said. “I had post-traumatic stress from that and low self-esteem. I was a shame-based person. I didn’t think what I had done was wrong. I thought I was wrong.” She’s battled anorexia, depression and drug and alcohol abuse in her teens and into her early 20s. An abortion at age 27 was the final straw. “I rang a local brothel,” she said. “My grades plummeted at uni and I used more drugs and alcohol to numb the pain. It was soul destroying,” she said. Ms McCracken worked both legally and illegally over the four years she worked as a prostitute on Brisbane’s southside. She would often call on men in their homes or at local motels, which was both dangerous and illegal.

Eventually, after a number of stints in rehab and hospital “close to death’s door”, she found the Hope Foundation, a Mt Gravatt-based charity that helps women break free of addiction and prostitution. “As soon as I walked over the threshold at the Hope Foundation, I immediately felt loved,” she said. “At Hope, they valued me for what I was, not for what I could earn them.” Fast forward five years and Ms McCracken now works as a case manager at the organisation “loving women back to life”. “I would love women to know that they’re loved and valued and created with a purpose,” she said. “There’s always an alternative to prostitution. They are worth more than that.” The Hope Foundation is a national charity that helps women wanting a life change from addictions and/or the sex industry. Hope Haven, a small ‘home’ based in Mt Gravatt, offers a safe place for women to reflect, read and talk.
