Hello, my name is Natalie and I'm a proud mum to two wonderful sons, one of whom I care for full time due to his disability. I find joy in caring for my son and gardening, it's the simple things that bring me the most pleasure.
However, life has thrown us a curveball. We've been living in a damp, mould-ridden property for over nine years, and despite numerous complaints, no repairs have been made. To add to our woes, we are now facing eviction due to these complaints. This has been the biggest challenge I've faced, and it's heartbreaking.
I've been renting privately for over a decade, and despite the condition of the property, we made it our home. Receiving the eviction notice was a nightmare, and it's been a struggle ever since. I'm a carer for my youngest son and the thought of not being able to provide a safe and stable home for my family is terrifying. My goal with Beam is to secure a stable home for my family and me. It's not just about a roof over our heads, it's about creating a nurturing environment for my sons, especially in the current housing market.
Knowing that there are people out there who want to support my goal is breathtaking. It restores my faith in humanity and gives me hope for the future. I am excited to launch this Beam donations page, and I am grateful to everyone who supports us in finding a new home. It's hard to put into words what it would feel like to achieve this goal. But I know it would mean an end to our current nightmare and the start of a new chapter in our lives. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can give.
