Life has blessed me with two children. One of my children is autistic so I have to dedicate a lot of time to him which means I am only able to work part time. This became a problem when I separated from my partner and did not have enough money to pay rent. I had no choice but to start over.
My living situation was constantly changing from one moment to the next. At one point I was in temporary accommodation with my children. More recently I have been at friends' houses sleeping on a mattress on the floor. Not being able to settle in one place has been emotionally draining for us all.
I feel very grateful for the help I have received so far. I never thought I would be in this situation but thanks to the Beam team I now have access to the support I need. Thanks to you I will be able to give my children a home. Once we are settled, I have ambitions to finish my degree and work towards my own career.
