As a mother who gave birth in June last year, I can honestly say that finding a place for myself and my baby has been one of the most challenging experiences of my life. Being on maternity leave and receiving universal credit, I found it difficult to convince landlords to accept myself and my baby for a tenancy in their property. However, things have taken a turn for the better recently.
Thanks to the support of some kind-hearted individuals, I am now looking to secure a two-bedroom flat for myself and my baby. Knowing that I have people who have our best interests at heart has been such a weight off my shoulders. I'm excited to move in and finally have some peace of mind.
Living in a small double room in a shared house with my baby has been incredibly stressful, to say the least. I'm thrilled that my son will now have the freedom to crawl around and explore his new home. In the future, I hope to return to work full time and enrol my son in a really lovely nursery.
