Me and my family have had some real difficulties over the past few years. I've always lived with my Mum and my brother, so when we lost our family home, it was a horrible feeling. It felt like I had nothing to live for if I couldn't stay with them, as I've had to sofa surf with friends since. The feeling of not knowing where I was going to lay my head at night was honestly the worst feeling too. My brother's mental health has been very bad since, and seeing him go through what he's going through breaks my heart every day, but I know he looks up to me so I have to be the strong big sister for him.
Having a place to call our home will make me so content, and allow us to be a secure family again. My dream is to eventually become an air hostess, something I started doing a few years ago but my course was cancelled due to the pandemic. Hopefully now I am taking more steps towards stability, I can re-start that dream!
It's important for me to share my story with other people and for them to know they’re not alone and to keep the faith, because things will get better eventually. It feels amazing knowing there’s still good people out there in the world who actually have a good heart and who want to help others. Thank you so much.
