Spending time at home with my son makes me so happy. He motivates me and makes me want to push to have a more stable home for us. After coming back to London because of the pandemic, I was no longer able to stay with family, and since I was only working part-time it wasn't easy to find a flat to rent. Finally, I was able to get the help from the council I needed for me and my son to have a stable home.
The stress around my housing situation has been growing. Now, however, to know that I will soon be able to rent a more stable place has helped me to be a little less stressed! While working part-time and trying to be the best mum I can be to my son, it's not easy to look for places and save enough for the deposit and first month's rent. With the support of the Beam community, this is now possible!
I’m very grateful that people are kind enough to help others. I hope someday soon I’ll be in a better position to help someone else. In the future, I hopefully can work towards starting my own beauty business from home. I truly feel like things are starting to look up. It's exciting to know that it can only get better from here.
