This has been the most difficult period in my life, I lost my home at a time when I was going through a lot of personal changes. My relationship with my partner broke down, so I had to move out of our home. My plan was to go and stay with my mum, but she was also searching for a new place to live, so I became homeless. I've been trying my best to keep everything together at my job and for my children, but the worries around my mum and my housing situation have had a huge impact on my mental health.
I have three children and the most difficult part of being homeless was having to explain to them why they haven’t been able to see me as much as before. I want to move into a new home for them as well as for me. I can’t wait until they can come and stay with me more regularly in a space that will feel like home for them.
Beginning this hunt for a new home has pushed me to sort out my finances. I feel like I am reaching a turning point in my life and am a step closer to the life I want for myself. Moving into a house would feel like a fresh start for me and a huge weight off my shoulders. I can’t wait to feel settled and stable in a place that I can call home. My appreciation for everyone that is supporting me is limitless.
