Hello, I'm Claire. Life has thrown a lot at me recently and I'm currently living out of my car, having fled from an abusive relationship. My parents are ill and I don't have any friends nearby to turn to. I've been through a lot, including dealing with anxiety and physical health issues. But despite everything, I've managed to hold down a job as a healthcare assistant, which has been my only piece of stability. It keeps me busy and helps me manage my mental health.
What makes me happy? My granddaughter. She's my ray of sunshine in the midst of all this. The biggest challenge I've faced is not having a place to call home. It's been tough, but I'm determined to change that. I'm using Beam to find a home. I'm excited about launching my Beam donations page because it gives me hope that I'll have a roof over my head soon.
I'm so grateful for the support. It's hard to put into words what it feels like knowing that people out there want to help me achieve my goals. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who donates. In two years time, I see myself enjoying a home with a stable job. I can't wait for the day when I can say I've achieved my goal. It will feel amazing.
