I've faced a lot of challenges, from struggling with my mental health to financial difficulties, all while caring for my 2-year-old son. Though it’s been tough managing everything that’s been going on whilst looking after him, he’s my rock and everything I do is to build a beautiful life for him. Luckily, we got moved into a council property a few months ago, which has made such a difference. Having our own space again has been amazing, and now that we’re more settled here - I really want to get back into work and find a job that fits around childcare.
I’ve had experience in hospitality and housekeeping before, so I’m hopeful that I can get a role in one of these areas soon. Whilst our new home is amazing, it’s doesn’t have great transport links - so getting Beam’s support with a bike is going to make such a big difference to the number of roles that I can apply for! I'm determined to find a job that will provide me with financial stability and allow me to support myself and my son, and I can’t wait to have that extra layer of independence and stability in our lives.
