Life has been a rollercoaster for me and my children. After my landlord retired and sold the property we had called home for a decade, we were forced into unsuitable accommodation by the council. This, coupled with my son's mental health struggles, led to my own mental breakdown. I've been living in assisted living accommodation for the past 15 months, but I need to find a new home. Despite the challenges, I've managed to keep my spirits up, focusing on the things that make me happy - like the thought of finally having a stable home for my children.
I've faced many obstacles, from finding a guarantor to securing household items. We spent over a year in temporary accommodation, which was far from ideal. But throughout it all, I've remained determined to provide a better life for my children.
Looking forward, I'm excited about the prospect of stability. I dream of still being in this house two years from now, providing a safe and loving environment for my children.
