I’m a single mum to my two children. I’ve had my fair share of life’s ups and downs, but it’s getting better!
I first started working when I was 16 years old as a stock room operator. I worked there for 6 years before I got made redundant. After that, I worked at a wholesalers but then I got pregnant so I had a break. I went back to my first job and worked there for over a year, but I got made redundant again because of Covid and I haven’t been able to find work since.
After I got made redundant and had to quit my job, my benefits were limited and as a result I'm now in rent arrears. They're just piling up and up. I’ve been served an eviction notice too, so things feel very much up in the air.
My goal in life is to get a good job so I can buy things for my kids. I just want to give them a good life! I want to get them what they need for school, and also finally start paying off my rent arrears. I’m really excited for Beam’s support to help me get items that will help me with my job search. I don’t have a computer, so having a laptop will make it a lot easier to apply for jobs. I’m really excited to get started!
