Finding myself a home is everything I've dreamed of. I've never had this kind of support before. It feels amazing to know I will have my own space, a place where I can build memories with my daughter.
The last few years have been really challenging. I lived with my grandparents for most of my young life but they passed away when I was 18, so I found myself without a home. Fast forward a few years and I met my daughter's mum, but due to a breakdown in our relationship, I had to move back into London and start sofa surfing. I moved into a hostel just over a year ago and have lived there ever since. But I never got the help I really needed and finding a property was so hard in that environment.
I am so excited for the future. I finally feel like everything is falling into place, firstly with my work and qualifications and now with my home. One day I hope to be a fully qualified scaffolder and be financially comfortable both for myself and my daughter.
