I'm a very positive person but the last year has really tested me. My friends say I'm always smiling, which is true most of the time, but I've struggled with things recently. Physical health issues have narrowed the type of work I can do which has made finding stable work tough.
Up until recently, I've been in temporary accommodation for along time. Moving into a rented place of my own has meant I now need to earn enough to sustain living here. I've been in and out of hostels and temporary housing over the years so this change in my circumstances has been so welcome but it comes with new financial responsibilities. I want my future to look different from my past so I'm determined to find a role soon.
I'm open to the type of job I do. Hospitality would suit me as I'm a pretty good cook and I can imagine myself chatting away to customers. I'm also excited to be receiving some funding to support me with my job search. Having my travel covered whilst I get back on my feet will be a huge help to me and it's lovely that the money is coming from people who care.
