Hello, I'm Karl. Life has thrown a few curveballs my way recently. I split with my partner and found myself without a home, which was a massive shock. I've been staying in temporary accommodation since May 2023, but it's not the same as having a place to call your own. On top of this, I've had some health issues, including DVT which made it difficult for me to walk and work. I've been managing the best I can, taking my medication, and trying to keep my spirits up by playing on my PlayStation and chatting with my housemates.
What makes me happy? The thought of getting my life back on track, improving my health, and building on the support I've been given. The biggest challenge I've faced has been dealing with homelessness and health issues while trying to stand on my own two feet again. But I'm determined to overcome these challenges. My goal is to move into a new home and regain my independence.
Knowing that people out there want to support me in achieving my goal makes me feel incredibly blessed, especially in these hard times. I'm excited about launching my Beam donations page because it's a step towards standing on my own two feet again and having a home of my own. When I achieve my goal with Beam, I know it's going to feel amazing and I can finally look forward to the future. So, to everyone who donates, I want to say a big 'thank you' for believing in me and helping me get back on my feet.
