I’ve recently experienced homelessness, and as I co-parent my son, I’ve been having a rough time with it. It’s not been the first time that I’ve been homeless but the long commute in my previous tenancy meant it was becoming prohibitively expensive and after embarking on a career break I’ve not been able to secure a tenancy. Not having a space to spend time with my young child does take a toll.
I am excited to enrol on a Chainsaw maintenance, short felling and crosscutting course, and start building a career in this industry. Having done much of this at a young age with my father, I would very much like to make it a full-time opportunity. It would be great to secure a stable job on an estate or for a company where I can grow my skills.
The stability of the job would give me a sense of purpose, and it would put me in a better position to be able to secure my own tenancy and build a strong relationship with my son. I would like to thank Beam for their continued support and encouraging me in pursing what I love.
