It feels so great to know there are people out there who want to help. I am looking forward to getting into a job which will keep me busy and to be doing something I really love. I would love to treat my children once I am in work. They have never gone on a trip so I would love to take them somewhere they will enjoy. My eldest son's birth is also coming up and I want to get him something to make him happy.
Accommodation wise, I have been through a lot. At the moment we are in temporary accommodation but there have been times in the past where I had to sleep on the streets with the children. I was sofa surfing with a friend at the time, but we had to leave eventually. After wandering the streets all day trying to find somewhere, eventually, we just sat down because the children were falling asleep.
However, I believe this experience has prepared me for the future. I tell my children to help others where they can because people have been there for us. When you go through a lot, it makes you appreciate what you have got and I teach my children that. I'm looking forward to doing a job that supports others and is not just to kill time. I have done voluntary work with the elderly before and enjoyed it a lot so I am confident I will be good at this kind of work.
