Hello, I'm Nigel. I've always been a hard worker, currently taxi driving and gardening. I never expected to go through homelessness, it's been a learning curve of finding out when you think you're comfortable with having a home and then one day its all taken away from you and you have nothing. I lost my home due to a complicated situation involving a friend and a contract that wasn't in my name. Since then, I've been sofa surfing, even sleeping in my car. It's been tough, and it's taken a toll on my mental health.
The support I have received is outstanding, I can not put it into words of the support and kindness I received from the team from Beam. I hit rock bottom after losing my home and I owe them so much for helping get my life back together. I can't wait to feel happy and settled and safe again, and I now know with the help of Beam I can achieve this.
I'm excited about launching this donations page, not just for myself, but for others who may find themselves in a similar situation. For me and my future, gardening is my sanctuary. It's therapeutic, relaxing, and brings me immense joy. I also have a white Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Holly, currently being cared for by my sister. I miss her dearly and am looking forward to finding a place where we can be together again.
