I've faced some real challenges in my life, the biggest one being unemployed for six months during the current financial crisis. There were nights when I had to go to sleep hungry because I had nothing to eat, and nights when I had to sleep in the freezing cold because I couldn't afford to keep the heating on. But I'm grateful to say that I have recently found a job in construction and have been going every day. Working makes me happy. It gives me a sense of routine and purpose and I'm really grateful for the support to get into this job, having help with travel costs and work clothes will make a big difference.
Knowing that there are people out there who want to support me in achieving my goal feels surreal. This gives me a sense of hope that I'm not alone. I'm excited to launch my Beam donations page and see that people genuinely care about my story. Your support is be a big weight off my shoulders and bring me one step closer to my vision of where I want to be in life. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for your generosity.
