Recently, our housing situation has been incredibly challenging. After living in our current home for over 9 years, we were issued a section 21 notice by our landlady, who is now selling the house. Finding another rental has proven difficult due to various reasons, such as unaffordable rents, restrictions on pets, and rooms too small for my two girls to share. Additionally, my partner's new self-employed status has made it challenging to even view properties as he doesn't have an up-to-date tax return yet. Having to navigate this has been so difficult without any support on what options we had. The uncertainty and limbo have been the biggest challenges we've faced.
Knowing that people want to support us in achieving our dream of finding a new home has been incredibly helpful and reassuring. Launching our Beam donations page excites us as it may offer us the chance to secure a property and bring stability back to our lives as a family.
Moving into a new property would be a tremendous relief, lifting a huge weight off our shoulders and reducing stress levels significantly. And knowing we don't have to do this all alone really helps.
In two years' time, we hope to have found a settled and stable home once again, providing a better future for ourselves and our family.
