Hello, I'm Olesia. I'm a mother to a wonderful 5-year-old boy and we've been living with a kind host family for almost two years now. We are grateful for the safety and support they've provided, but we're eager to have a space of our own. I've been working hard to improve my English and explore this new world with my son, but finding stable employment has been a real challenge. Back in Ukraine, I was a recruiter for IT companies, but here in the UK, I've been struggling to secure a permanent position in recruitment.
My biggest challenge has been finding a stable job. The uncertainty around my employment and income has greatly affected my mental health. I've been lucky enough to find temporary work as an HR Administrator, but when the contract ended, I found myself back at square one. With the high competition for even entry-level administrative positions, I realised I needed to stand out. That's why I'm looking to raise money for HR training. I believe this will give me the knowledge and edge I need to secure a permanent HR job.
Looking ahead, in two years, I want to feel more stable in my life. I want to have a home that I can afford, a job where I can develop professionally, and a stable income. I'm excited about launching my Beam donations page because it offers practical help to people like me who are experiencing difficulties at this stage of their lives. Knowing that there are people out there who want to support me in achieving my goal fills me with immense gratitude. When I achieve my goal with Beam, I know I will feel infinitely more stable and calm than I do now. Thank you for your generosity and support.
