I’m Mollie Jacobs, 27, and I’ve shown resilience through significant challenges, including periods of homelessness, mental health struggles, and financial hardship. My background is in the food industry, but I lost my job in early 2024 due to unstable housing and am now residing in supported housing as I work toward securing a one-bedroom or shared accommodation to live independently.
I’m determined to get back to work, ideally in a chef role, starting part-time with the goal of moving to full-time. I’ve been actively seeking both housing and employment and have a strong record with job applications. Although managing mental health has been a focus, I’m supported by a mental health team, which helps me stay motivated and committed to building a brighter future. I'm excited to be moving forward and working towards something productive.
