Hello, I'm Emmanuel. My family and I were living in a property with serious issues for years. The place has damp and mould, and we've been dealing with electrical faults for the past five years, jeopardising the safety of my family. Despite reaching out to our landlord and MP, we were not getting anywhere. As the years went on, it started to feel hopeless.
What makes me happy? It's simple - my family and helping others. I'm a father to a wonderful 14-year-old son, and we've been desperately looking for a stable home where we can live happily and healthily. With the help of Beam, I was able to find work, and then we now feel like we are armed with the resources and skills to pursue our own home and finally get back to a decent life as a family.
Knowing that people like you want to support us in achieving our goal is incredibly uplifting. It's amazing to know that there is support out there when you feel like you've exhausted all options. I can't express how much it means to us, we got nowhere with people for so long and now the generosity and kindness of strangers is our saviour. In a few years time, we hope to be living in a stable, safe home, where we can be a family.
