I'm happiest when I'm playing the piano. I can play other instruments too but I think that's the one that relaxes me the most. I don't have access to one at the moment so I haven't been able to play but I hope it will be a feature in my future home some day.
I became homeless due to a breakdown in relationship with my family. It meant I couldn't stay in the family home anymore and I had to ask to stay with friends. I'm sofa surfing at the moment but I can't be in this position permanently. I wouldn't be able to front the costs for a rental deposit alone so working with the council and Beam has been a real turning point. Things are finally moving for me and it feels good.
I'm no stranger to challenges and my housing situation isn't the only thing I've had to work to solve. I suffer from anxiety and having to overcome this whilst being at work was one of the most difficult things I've been through. Things are better now that I'm taking the time to address things and I'd like to find a job when I'm ready. My dream for the future is just to have a stable home and feel comfortable there. It doesn't sound too much but it would mean a lot to be in that position.
