Hi there, I'm Gary. Life hasn't always been a smooth ride for me. I've been through a lot, from living in a campervan to sofa surfing with friends, and even sleeping rough a couple of times. I've had to deal with physical health issues too - crushed knees and sciatica, but I've always kept going. I'm a happy person and I get on with things, even when they're tough. I've managed to stay positive even though I've faced the challenge of trying to survive financially without a job.
I love working and feeling stable. It's what makes me happy. I've got a cleaning role and I'm looking for a permanent role or another part-time job. I'm ready to work anytime and I've been applying for jobs recently. The goal I want to achieve with Beam is to find stable employment and from there, move into my own place. I'm ready to leave behind the instability of the past and start a new chapter.
Knowing that people want to support me to achieve my goal feels really good. It's a real boost to my morale and it gives me hope for the future. In two years' time, I see myself settled in my own place. When I achieve my goal with Beam, I think it's going to feel great. So, to anyone who donates to my page, I want to say a big thank you. I really appreciate anybody that wants to help.
