I became homeless after losing my driving licence and as a consequence, my job and then falling out with my family. I was in some temporary accommodation that was not at all safe or hygienic and so I left that and I've been sofa surfing ever since. It's been really hard to not have my own space and living this way has made it difficult to apply for jobs with my housing situation being so unstable. I have a daughter, so I really want her to be visiting me in a place that is safe for a toddler.
I have worked in security before, so I know this is a job I can do to get back on track and save some money that I will put towards getting trained as a Gas Safety Engineer. My plan for 2024 is to get qualified and start working in this area to make sure people are warm and safe in their homes.
Beam's support is so valuable to me right now as an opportunity to get my life back on track. I can get back into work and then find a stable place to live where my daughter can visit and we can spend some quality time in a place to call home.
Your support means a lot to me. It feels great to be given this opportunity to start putting my plans in place for a more stable, independent and happy life!
