I’m excited to start my life all over again. Beam feels like an opportunity to have a fresh start and help me back on my feet. I lost my job as a live-in carer when the lady I was caring for died, and have struggled to get back into work since. I love looking after people and caring, but now I’m excited for a new challenge!
A few months ago I lost my job and my partner within a very short space of time. After we’d broken up, as I’d lost my job so couldn’t afford to rent on my own and ended up moving into a hostel. Thankfully I was helped into the temporary housing where I am now by a charity in Clapham and it has been such a huge relief to have a place of my own. it feels like I’ve won the lottery! Living in a hostel was quite difficult as it meant sharing rooms with people in such close proximity, but now I have my own space and kitchen to be able to cook nutritious meals which I’m so happy about!
I’m very excited about starting work as a cleaner. I can’t describe the feeling knowing that others are willing to help me. It makes me feel so special, and so alive - for the first time I feel like somebody really cares and that is so powerful.
