Life has been challenging these past few years. After my mum passed away four years ago, my mental health has been up and down. Earlier on this year I lost my job and became homeless. Since then I moved between sofa surfing, sleeping rough and staying in temporary hostels.
It has not been easy to get my life back on track - without a stable home, lacking internet and a laptop, I could not get a job but without a job I could not move into my own home. Just being able to get a deposit and pay for the first month’s rent and everything has been hard.
What has motivated me to keep going is my daughter. She is 5 years old and I love her more than anything. I want to get my life back on track and develop my career to make her proud and give her everything that she needs.
I am a very resilient person and I have a lot of hope for the future. I cannot wait to be in my own home and start a stable career.
