I’m really excited to launch my housing campaign with Beam. I previously received help to find work and am so happy to say that I’ve found a lovely family to nanny for. My job is going really well and so now is the time to turn my attention to my housing situation.
We’ve been asked to leave the property we’ve been living in for 11 years as the lease has expired and the landlord wants the property back. Before I started work I was benefit capped and therefore unable to find anywhere I could afford in my borough. I have two children going to school here and the last thing I wanted to do was uproot them to a new place after all the difficulties of the pandemic.
However, now, with Beams help and my new job, I am able to afford a place in our area. This area of London is our home and I’m so grateful to be able to stay here and offer that stability to my family.
Once we’ve moved I will finally be able to breathe easy knowing that my family is in a safe, stable home. My long term dream for the future is to become a nurse and this will definitely take me one step closer to getting there. Thank you.
