It makes me feel happy to know that other people want to help me because I'm really struggling at the moment. My husband is unable to work due to his high blood pressure and I have children back home in Nigeria who are relying on me to support them financially. I also have to help my ten year old son that lives with me here in the UK. I feel like I haven't had any help at all.
I really need to get a job so I can properly look after my family. Even the jacket that my child wears to school needs replacing and I can't afford to get a new one. I worry about him all the time as it's getting really cold outside. I don't even have a warm jacket for myself.
I would like to work as a kitchen assistant and save so I can afford my own house one day and move out of temporary accommodation. I want my son to go to university and I want to be able to support him with anything he needs. For this reason, I'm working with Beam to support myself and my family to improve our lives.
