I really want to be in a settled home and away from the stresses I've experienced in the hostel I've been staying in. The damp in my room has caused me to develop a cyst on my lungs which I had to have surgery to remove. This has impacted on my life and meant I'm no longer able to work.
My housing issues started when I came out as gay to my family and they kicked me out of the house. I was sofa surfing for a few years before being placed in temporary accommodation. I'm now looking to find my own place to rent so I can have some stability and focus on getting well again.
I thought there was no one there to support me with this goal, but it feels nice knowing that actually there is. It's going to be amazing to finally have my own space and somewhere that I can put my head down comfortably. I've been through a lot and this next step will really help me move on with my life.
