Hello, my name is Anastasiia. I'm a mum to a wonderful two-year-old boy named Liev. We recently moved to the UK from Ukraine, seeking peace and stability after our home was damaged by a rocket. The transition has been challenging, especially with the language barrier, but I'm actively taking courses and learning English to help us settle in better. We're currently living with a kind sponsor, but with him being 82 and us having a young son, our lifestyles don't quite match. That's why we're eager to move into our own home soon.
Finding a stable home for my son and me is my top priority right now. We're currently living in a small, cramped room, and we're looking forward to moving into a more spacious and permanent apartment. I'm also excited to send Liev to nursery soon, which will give me the opportunity to focus on my English courses and eventually get back to work. Before moving to the UK, I worked as a manicurist in Ukraine, and I plan to get certified to continue this profession here.
It's heartwarming to know that we're not alone and that there are caring people ready to help. I'm incredibly grateful to Beam for their assistance in our journey to find stable housing. In two years, I see myself working as a manicurist in a beauty salon and celebrating my son's birthday with his new friends. Your support will help us take a significant step towards that dream. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
