My housing situation has been very difficult because I have been in temporary accommodation for the last couple of years since arriving in the UK. Previously I was living with my partner, but I was forced to leave our home after the relationship ended. I am working hard as a carer whilst looking after my 9 year old son but the housing situation has been hard for both of us, it is one of the most challenging things I have ever experienced. It has been hard to find affordable accommodation that is suitable for both of us.
I know that being in a stable home will make things easier for my son and I. In my spare time I like to have fun and spend time with family and friends, I hope to be able to invite them over for food one day! In the future I would like to go back to school and complete my education. This will help me progress my career and help to make sure my son is well supported.
It feels great that people want to support me to reach my goals and I really appreciate it. I hope one day to be able to return the favour!
