I’m a very sociable person, so I’m happiest any time I can talk to or interact with other people. I love making people smile.
I worked in the catering industry for over 15 years which was great for me because I love customer service and hospitality. I'm a perfectionist and if someone gives me a 1, I give them a 10 - I have great commitment. But when I had some difficulties with my mental health, the stress of the job became too much. I tried to be strong but it's hard being by myself and I can judge myself harshly. I had to quit my job to look after myself.
At the same time, my flatmate moved out of our home and the landlord didn’t want to rent the rooms separately. I couldn’t afford to pay for the property so I had to move out. I have been living in hotels for a while, but this was too expensive. I'm using up all my savings. When my money runs out, I'll be on the street.
I’m very grateful for the help I’m getting through Beam. I can’t wait to have a place I can call home. It's my dream to spend time decorating it - I’ve been really looking forward to filling my place with house plants! Once I’ve got a home, the rest will follow.
