Hello there, I'm Sarah. Life has thrown quite a few curveballs at me, and one of the biggest challenges I've faced was being kicked out and left homeless. It was a dark time, but I've managed to pull myself together with the help of my loved ones and the support I received at the DV shelter. I was very depressed and emotional when I first arrived there, but with time, I've healed. I've attended DV classes and got the support I needed. Now, I'm doing fine and even joined a gym to keep my physical health in check.
I'm a single mum to my beautiful 15-year-old daughter. We've been living in temporary accommodations, and it's been tough. I've rented privately before and it was all fine, so my goal with Beam is to find a stable home for us. I want to provide a secure and loving environment for her to grow up in. I also have a little kitten, who's nearly a year old now. She's a bundle of joy and we'd love for her to have a proper home too.
Knowing that there are people out there who want to support me in achieving this goal is incredibly heartening. It feels like I have a team cheering me on, and it's this support that motivates me to build a better future for myself and my family. In two years' time, I see myself going onto a nursing degree course at university. Achieving this goal with Beam would mean the world to me. I'd feel like I've accomplished my dream and moved on from the sad moments in my life.
