I got a new job during the pandemic with the NHS and I worked there for almost a year. It was great, but we all got made redundant in 2021. This hit me hard and it was really difficult to find another job. On top of that, me and my three children are being evicted from the home we have lived in for 8 years, because our landlord wants to sell the house. We are just waiting for the bailiffs to come and kick us out. I am trying to find a job and a place to live with my children but it is so difficult when you are a single mother.
I have also battled depression for a while now. Having depression but also being a single mum is so difficult, and definitely the biggest obstacle I have faced so far in my life.
I would like to do any sort of work to have a stable income for me and my kids. I have done admin work before, hospitality, cleaning and caring, so I am looking for anything in those areas. I also think working will help my mental health as I will have a routine and won't have as much stress about money. It will also help me get a place of our own.
Thank you to everyone who looks at my page and donates to me. You are having such an impact on my life and my children's lives. Working with Beam is a little overwhelming because I haven't received help like this before. It is nice to know that there are still people out there who want to help- it is a humbling experience.
