I am looking for a new home for my son and I after living in temporary accommodation since the age of 18. I am a care leaver and I have not had much support in finding a new home which has been really stressful for me. My son and I are currently living in cramped conditions and I am desperately wanting a change.
I love spending time with my son as well as going to work as I know this is a step of building a better life, however I am well aware of the changes in the housing market and it defiantly is not easy finding a property. I have looked for properties before, however I had been declined time and time again - I am convinced I am doing something wrong.
Since being in touch with Beam, they have been super supportive. They have also offered me amazing advice on how to secure a property as well as different tips when communicating with Landlords. I am very hopeful that I will be able to find a new home with the support of Beam.
Knowing that there are genuine people that also want to help with this move is also such a heartfelt feeling. Sometimes you can loose faith in humanity, however this platform has restored it all.
