My life was turned upside down when the war happened in Ukraine, things have been so difficult. I dream of peace everywhere and I pray for my country and I pray for everyone who is still there. I want to settle here in the UK and create a good environment for me and for my daughter. My priority at the moment is finding a stable job so my daughter and I can move into a safe home. Back in Ukraine, I worked as a psychologist. It's my first experience of asking for help, before the war I was the one doing the helping so it feels a little bit strange.
In the future, I'd love to see my daughter happy and have a smile on her face. I want to feel like the UK is my home. It would be amazing to have new friends and to have created a peaceful and good environment for me and my daughter to live in. Alongside working as a psychologist, I also did screenwriting in Ukraine. I've written a script about the invasion, it would be my dream to get this produced one day - fingers crossed!
In Ukraine, we don't have many organisations like Beam so I'm so excited to get this help and support. It is amazing that are people who can help me to create a new life. For the first time, I feel like there is a wall behind me to help me rebuild and I know am not alone.
