Hello, I'm Maria. I'm a proud mum to two wonderful boys and a self-employed businesswoman. My life has been turned upside down recently with a divorce. The associated financial abuse has resulted in me losing all of the businesses I worked on for so many years. It's been tough, but my kids have been my rock, and I'm not one to back down easily. I'm determined to turn things around for the better.
My primary goal right now is to move into a stable home where my boys and I can feel safe and secure. Currently, we're living in a house which is unsafe. I have gotten back on my feet running my business, I'm working hard to build back up and make money but it's there is no space to do this in the shared house. I'm so grateful to Beam for giving me this opportunity to reach out for help.
Knowing that there are people out there who want to support me in achieving my goal is a huge comfort. It makes me feel blessed and gives me hope for a brighter future. I'm excited about launching my Beam donations page, not just for the financial support it can provide, but also for the chance to share my story and connect with others.
In two years' time, I see myself running my businesses again, I used to develop properties, and when I do, I would love to rent one out to Beam to support the next person in a situation like mine. I think I will be happy with my boys, having a stable income and providing them with an interesting life filled with as many skills as I can give.
