I recently came to the UK after experiencing domestic violence by my ex-husband. He was controlling, abusive and I could not live my life because of him. I am now homeless because of him and sofa surfing with family.
I have always worked and had really great jobs back home and it felt that he took all that from me and now I have to start all over again in a new country. I am trying my best to stay positive and use this as an opportunity for me to change my life around. The most important thing for me is to find and start work so that I can be independent and do something for myself.
I hope that I can find work very soon, have a better income and then hopefully move into my own home one day. This support is really important for me - it will completely set me free from everything I have been through and I can be proud that I made amazing things happen for myself.
