I have been dealing with some significant housing challenges recently. The flat I live in with my partner and my child is in very poor condition and simply dangerous. A couple of months ago, I fell through the bathroom floor and injured both my legs. Due to the the incident, I lost my job and ended up in rent arrears and was given an eviction notice. What should have been an exciting time for us as we were welcoming our baby into the world, was instead really difficult and stressful.
As I have recovered from the fall, I am really motivated to get back into work, support myself and my family. I am hoping to go into an admin role where I can really kickstart my career.
This support means a lot to us - it is the start of changing our situation and I hope that I will find work soon and move into a new, safe home.
