My living situation is currently a big challenge. It affects my state of mind and my two daughters' wellbeing. We are living in a hostel in 1 room, the doors are heavy and loud so it wakes them up all the time. I feel really stressed when cooking with them in the kitchen with me, but I also can’t leave them in the room as the doors are soundproof and I’m worried I wouldn’t be able to hear them if something happened. When we go to my family's house, I can see how much happier they are as they feel safe and they can play freely, and I want this for them.
I became homeless due to my previous accommodation. My landlord kicked me out and threw my belongings outside of the property when I was 36 weeks pregnant. I called the police and they told me that I had a fake contract which I did not realise, so there was nothing they could do. Since then, things have been hard. Just like everyone, I just want stability for me and my kids and in order to do that, I need to get a job first. I have been applying but there is a lot of competition so doing it on my own has been difficult.
I usually never ask for help, but I have reached a point where I cannot do it alone. The only support I got was from Beam and it is a really good help, I am incredibly grateful for this!
I want to be able to find a job that will provide stability, and then a nice house where me and my girls can be comfortable and happy. For the future, my dream is to start an interpreting and translation course so I can use my language skills and progress in my career.
