Hello, I'm Hafiz. A few years ago, during the Covid-19 pandemic, I fell terribly ill. I was in and out of hospital, unable to work as many hours as I used to. This had a huge impact on my employment status and I fell behind on many of my bills, resulting in rent arrears. Eventually, my landlord evicted my family and I, forcing us to live with my in-laws. We only had a room to ourselves, which was very cramped and left us feeling anxious and unhappy.
Thankfully, my health has improved and I've been able to return to work. However, my family and I remain without a home of our own. We've been trying for so long to find a new home, but it's been incredibly difficult. When Beam reached out to me saying they could help, I couldn't believe it. I had no idea an organisation like this existed, and it's refreshing to know that there are genuine people out there who want to support my family and I in finding a new home.
Looking ahead, I'm excited about the prospect of starting afresh with my family in a new home, especially as my health continues to improve daily. In two years' time, I hope to be able to fully support my family and live in a lovely home. Achieving this goal with Beam will feel amazing.
