Hello, I'm Anna-Mariia. I've always been a lover of learning and a passionate teacher. Helping my students achieve their goals and seeing their progress is what truly brings me joy. But my journey hasn't always been easy. I'm originally from Ukraine, and due to the war, my family and I had to leave everything behind and seek refuge here in the UK. The transition has been challenging, especially trying to understand the housing system here which is so different from back home.
Being a refugee is a difficult situation that no one is ever fully prepared for. It's like starting from scratch, trying to build a new life in a foreign land. The most pressing issue for us right now is finding a stable home. My husband and I are working, but our salaries are not enough to rent a flat for our family, and we've been turned down by agents one after another. This year, I've also started university to get a UK qualification, hoping to secure a better job as a teacher in a college or university after graduation.
Knowing that there are people out there who want to support us in achieving our goal is an incredible feeling. It gives us hope and strength to keep pushing forward. Your donation will not only help us secure a home, but it will also give us the stability we need to fully integrate into our new life here in the UK. In two years, I see myself working as a teacher in a college or university and living in our own house with my family. With your help and the support of Beam, I believe we can make this happen.
