Hello, my name is Huyen. I'm a single mum to a beautiful 4-year-old daughter and currently, we're living in temporary accommodation. For the past five years, we've been in a place that doesn't feel like home and where we've faced discrimination from neighbours. It's been tough, especially being a single parent. But recently, we were handed an eviction notice, which was a wake-up call for me. I realised I needed to find a safe and stable home for my daughter and me, close to her school.
I currently work part-time at a nail salon, which I enjoy as it helps me manage my wellbeing. However, balancing work and childcare has been a challenge. I've been hesitant to move because I didn't have the right guidance. But then I found Beam. They've been incredibly supportive, explaining the eviction process and showing me the different ways they could help. It's been a relief, knowing that there are people out there who genuinely want to help.
Looking ahead, I see myself and my daughter in a stable home, living a peaceful life. That's my dream. And with Beam, it feels like it's within reach. I'm excited to launch this donations page because it's a step towards achieving that dream. To everyone who donates, I want to say a huge 'thank you'. Your support means the world to us. It's not just about the money, but the belief that things can get better, and that's a powerful thing.
