Bruce Mpofu, from Bradford, left the Southern African country with his mum who works for the National Health Service (NHS), Britain\u2019s public health system.<\/p>\n

However, at 15 he got in with the wrong crowd and committed a crime which meant he was in breach of immigration laws.<\/p>\n

Bruce then had to attend regular meetings before he was told on 8 July that he would be deported.<\/p>\n

He does not have any friends or family in the country due to the number of years he has lived in the UK and there are fears he could end up homeless after being handed only \u00a340 to help him start a new life in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

A GoFundMe appeal has been launched to try and reverse his deportation \u2013 and help Bruce survive in the meantime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
