My housing situation has been very difficult in recent years. Me and my child have lived in temporary accommodation for 5 years and it has been challenging to raise my child independently whilst being in insecure housing and working full-time. There have been so many obstacles and it has felt hopeless at times.
Moving into our own house is going to make a huge difference to our lives, being closer to work and school as well as our family and friends. Feeling safe and happy in a suitable environment.
When I think about the future, I want my son to be happy, healthy, safe and thriving in his new environment, being able to gain the most out of life.
It feels overwhelming knowing there are people out there who want to help us and to be able to see us thrive. After being knocked down time and time again, it restores our faith in humanity.
