Hello, my name is Nene. I'm a single mum to a beautiful boy and we've been living in temporary accommodation for the past year. It's been a challenging time, moving from place to place, never knowing where we'll be sleeping next week or next month. I've always been someone who likes to fix things, but this situation feels impossible to fix on my own. I used to work at Selfridges, always paid my rent on time, but when the pandemic hit and everything closed, my income decreased and I fell into arrears. I've been evicted and now, more than anything, I want to find a stable home for me and my son.
What makes me happy? I love to listen to music, travel to spend time with my family back home, cook, and spend quality time with my son. I also love going to the gym and swimming when I can. I want to get my life back on track.
Knowing that there are people out there who want to support me in achieving this goal feels amazing. I've always done everything by myself, so having any type of support means the world to me. In two years time, I want my life to be stable. I want to sleep for a whole week without worrying about where I'll be sleeping next. I know that achieving this goal with Beam will feel like a blessing.
