My dream is not to be continually stressed about being homeless, to have a home where my children are happy and can have their own bedroom. I want my children to build a relationship with their father, do well at school/university, and not make the same mistakes I have made that led me to be in this situation.
I've been private renting for 7 years and in this current property for over 4 years, but now the landlord wants it back. Due to me being a single parent, I receive a top-up in rent from the council. I've found this means that no landlord wants to rent to me despite having a 30 hour per week job and paying my rent on time for over 7 years.
My work is my passion. I've been in the beauty therapy industry for over 20 years. I enjoy making people happy and feel good, especially during the last year where people have struggled. It was tough supporting my children with homeschooling through Covid, but they came out of it doing really well in their education. Now I want to go back to having a stable home situation so I can see them succeed in life.
