The past few years have been a whirlwind for my son and me. We've been in a difficult housing situation due to fleeing domestic violence, and we've lived in eight different properties, including temporary accommodations and one privately rented property. This frequent moving has taken a toll on my son's education, having to attend five different primary schools. Despite these challenging circumstances, I've managed to keep my spirits high. My son is my whole heart and I would do anything for him, even though it may be a struggle at times.
I've faced many challenges, but living in women's refuges has been the biggest. It's been a long journey, but I'm determined to find a stable home and job for us. My main goal is to finally be settled. I want a job that I won't have to leave as soon as I start due to my circumstances. I've worked in administrative jobs, childcare, and as an analyst before, and I enjoyed working with children. I've been considering applying for jobs in retail, specifically in jewellery stores and coffee shops.
Knowing that there are people out there who want to support me in achieving my goal means a lot to me. It gives me hope and strengthens my resolve to create a better life for my son and me. In two years' time, I want us to be happy and settled. I want my son to finally be able to be comfortable and have stability. I believe that with your help and the support from Beam, I can make this dream a reality.
