I'm originally from Ukraine where I had a fulfilling career as a lawyer, defending the rights of citizens in court. My wife, son and I loved our life there, but the war changed everything and we had to leave. We moved to the UK in 2024, and since then I've been on a mission to find work. I hope to quickly find a job here, as I have a good understanding of Ukrainian law and great English. However, I’ve been sending out my CV to different companies every day, but it's been a struggle. I've found that British employers are interested in British education and local experience, which I currently do not have and therefore, I have come to a dead end.
Finding a stable job for me and my family to be able to rent an apartment, pay for childcare, and gain independence is very important to me. To help get some UK experience, launching my Beam donation page will allow me to attend a professional course to gain the necessary skills to work in the legal field here, which by the way, has been my childhood dream. This opportunity encourages me to persist with my job search, look optimistically to the future, and hopefully find something soon.
Looking forwards, I am very excited to secure a stable job and turn this negative page of my life. After this, I would love to rent a new home with my family and look towards building a brighter future. I believe in the power of good deeds and the kindness of strangers. When the war started in Ukraine, I donated and helped people who needed more financial and urgent help than my family. Now the moment has come when I am in a difficult position and knowing that you are not alone in a foreign country and people are willing to help you is a wonderful feeling. Thank you for your kindness and for possessing humanity with the help of your donation.
