My family and I have been going through a tough time recently. After 12 years in our family home, I received an eviction notice from the council. I was so confused, I'd always paid my bills on time and treated the house with respect. Unknown to us, the landlord had been illegally subletting the property so it's being reclaimed. At a similar time, I lost my job at the bakery I'd worked in for many years. Everything in my life was falling apart and I did not know what to do.
Thankfully, my supportive wife was by my side the whole time. She guided me through everything. I do not know where I would be without her. This has given me the determination to push ahead and start repairing this situation. Unfortunately, working as a baker for many years has impacted the functioning of my lungs. I can no longer work in dusty environments so need to retrain. I want to become a security guard, I've already started my training, which I'm enjoying, and with your help I will be able to finish it off.
At my age, this is a bit daunting but I'm ready for the challenge. My children have always asked me to go on an activity-based vacation together. So far, I've not been able to provide this for them. It hurts me when they ask for things and I can not give it to them. I know all of their friends are doing these types of trips and I just want them to experience this. These are the goals that give me the drive to keep going.
