Hello, I'm Alana. My little girl, Lily, is the light of my life. We love to dance around to music together, it's our favourite way to spend time. But recently, life has been a bit of a struggle. We've been sofa surfing at a friend's house after leaving my Mum's place. It's been tough, but I'm determined to create a better life for us.
The biggest challenge I've ever faced was when my Dad passed away. But now, I'm facing another huge hurdle - finding a stable home for Lily and me. I've been bidding on properties every week, sometimes coming 7th, sometimes 20th. It's a tough process, but I'm committed. Once we have a roof over our heads, I want to find a job. I've worked in retail before and am keen to return to this sector. I'm not just looking for a job, I'm looking for stability and a future for Lily.
Knowing that there are people out there who want to help us is a great feeling! In two years, I want us to be in a happy, stable household. When we achieve this, I know I'll feel incredibly grateful and lucky.
