I’m a single mother of four and my children are my world, everything I do is for them. My dream is to create a comfortable life for my children, one where they are proud of me and we are all stable, happy and healthy!
Since I lost my son, life has been very difficult. His death resulted in a lot of anxiety and depression, and the huge loss combined with our recent housing situation has made getting back on my feet feel almost impossible. We became homeless when our one bedroom flat we were staying in became extremely difficult to live in. Our flat was covered in mould and we had a rough sleeper sleeping in our garden who we once found sleeping inside our shower. It wasn’t a very safe environment for me and my children, so we moved in with my nan. However, after a few years, a family member who is dependent on alcohol and has severe mental health issues moved in and again it was an unsafe environment for us, so we were moved into temporary accommodation. I’m excited to be able to build a long-term future for my sons that is safe and secure!
I absolutely love to look after people, it makes me so happy to know I’ve been able to help and make a difference which is why I really want to be a carer. Knowing I have the opportunity to wake up every morning and not only help other people, but also help make a better and more stable life for my boys feels like a dream come true. I cannot wait until I can take my boys out to the seaside in the summer, or to the cinema or crazy golf. Your help to get us back on our feet means more than you will ever know!
