I came to this country in 2018 as a refugee as I needed to flee from Nigeria with my family. Since being here, I have not had the best luck finding a stable home for my three young girls. We have never had somewhere we are able to call home and build a sustainable life. Living in unstable conditions, has been a horrific journey for us.
My husband and I have been looking relentlessly for properties, but we have struggled to be accepted as tenants. Due to the tough housing market, properties are gone as quick as they become available on the market.
Since working with Beam, I finally have hope. Hope that I will finally be able to call somewhere home, not just for my own mental health but for my three young girls also. Beam have supported my family and I from the first meeting I had with them. I could not be more grateful. They have given me the skills to successfully house hunt, as well as giving me the confidence to speak with landlords.
