Living in a shared hostel for almost a year has been a real challenge. The lack of space makes everyday life difficult, and the lack of stability and privacy adds to the stress of the situation.
The biggest challenge has been finding a stable place to live and transitioning out of this uncertainty safely. I've been working hard to try to live a more stable life but it's been hard. I'm grateful for organisations like Beam and the people behind them, who provide support to improve lives through secure housing.
Launching my Beam donations page excites me because it's a chance to connect with people willing to help one another achieve their dreams. Moving to a new place means leaving the past behind and embracing new opportunities. I'd love to put this ordeal behind me and find somewhere stable to live.
