I moved to the UK from France in 2020 because I love London! I’d visited many times in the past, and I wanted to start a new life here with my little boy.
I have found work at a food delivery company, but the hours are very unstable. I never know when my next shift will be, or how many hours I’ll be working from week to week. Finding a suitable job in a new country has been challenging. The language barrier has been tricky too.
My dream is to save up enough money for my son and I to be able to move house. I’d love to live in central London - Pimlico or Westminster would be amazing! At the moment my son and I are living in temporary accommodation, but it’s so cold in our house. There’s no heating, and we’ve become unwell because of the living conditions. The area is unsafe too. There’s lots of gang crime and people using drugs in the hallways. I’m worried for my son and I don't want him to get caught up in the wrong crowd. I just want us to be in a happy and safe home.
I’m so excited for Beam’s support to find a stable job. My dream is to find a job that I enjoy, to work with lovely colleagues, and to have a long career in one place! Your support means you're giving me all the basic things that I need to get myself started. It's the perfect amount of support for someone in my situation. It's great, and it's making me feel a lot less stressed! Thank you all so much.
