Hello, my name is Asare. For the past four years, I've been living in a flat that's been far from ideal. It's been a constant struggle with the landlord over repairs, and the mould in the bathroom has been making my young son sick. Now, I've been handed an eviction notice under Section 8, and I'm at risk of losing the roof over our heads. Despite this, I've been doing my best to keep going, focusing on my work as a hospital porter and spending time with my family.
What makes me truly happy is being able to provide for my family and cater to their every need. But the biggest challenge I've faced has been finding a house or flat that fits within my budget. I've had a liver transplant, which makes certain tasks difficult for me, especially when I'm alone. But I manage, taking my medication and attending hospital appointments. I just need peace of mind, knowing that my family has a stable home.
With Beam, I hope to achieve this goal. Knowing that there are people out there willing to support me in this endeavour makes me feel loved and appreciated. I'm excited about launching this donations page, as it brings me one step closer to securing a stable home for my family. In two years, I hope to have a successful career and be in a position to return the generous favours I've received during this challenging time.
