It will be a great feeling to know that I can finally have my own place. Somewhere I can relax and have my own privacy
My housing situation has been tough. I left home when I was 16 and have been living with friends or family ever since. Sofa surfing and being homeless for a long period of time just makes you feel like change will never come. I’ve been previously turned away by landlords as I didn’t have enough money to pay for the first month's rent and deposit.
It’s amazing how kind people are. Without the help of anonymous people donating I wouldn’t have been able to secure a home. It’s a house share so it's not completely my own place. but I am so grateful that I have a roof over my head to keep me warm and safe. I would love to have my own house in the future. I like to picture myself having a barbeque in the back garden, looking at my house, and thinking: "Wow I’ve made it into my own home!"
