Hello, I'm Georgia. I've spent my life working in retail, bars, and hospitality, always finding joy in creating comfortable spaces and connecting with like-minded people. But life took an unexpected turn when I found myself homeless due to the COVID-19 pandemic and an abusive relationship. I've been dealing with PTSD symptoms, anxiety, and depression, but I'm determined to rise above it all. I've found solace in long walks, journaling, and caring for my grandad. It's these simple things that keep me going.
I've recently been housed, and while I'm grateful for the roof over my head, it's not quite home yet. My main goal with Beam is to find a suitable place I can truly call home, a sanctuary where I feel safe and secure. I've also been applying for jobs, but haven't had much luck. I'm keen to get back to work, ideally in a role where I can help others and use my experience in hospitality. I'm looking for funding to buy a laptop, which will be a huge help in my job search and future career.
Knowing that there are people out there willing to support me gives me so much hope. It's incredibly comforting and reassuring, and it fuels my desire to help others who may find themselves in similar situations. In two years' time, I see myself leading a stable, peaceful, and prosperous life. Achieving this goal with Beam would feel like a dream come true. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your donation is appreciated beyond words.
