Hello, my name is Olga. I am a passionate gardener who loves the magic of the soil and the joy of seeing new plants spring to life. I find peace and solace in the simple act of growing my own vegetables and berries. However, my life took a drastic turn when I had to leave my home in Ukraine at the start of the war in 2022. I've been living with relatives for the past two years, without a room of my own. Being retired and having little English, I found it challenging to adapt to life in a new country, far away from home.
My biggest wish is to find a peaceful home of my own. I'm at the age where I can't work anymore, but I'm not ready to give up on my dreams. I want a place where I can grow my own garden, even if it's just a small one. I understand that it might not be possible, but it's a dream that keeps me going. I'm so grateful to Beam for giving me hope and a chance to make this dream a reality.
Knowing that there are people out there who want to support me in achieving my goal fills me with immense gratitude. It's an amazing feeling to know that there are organisations like Beam and supporters like you who help people like me find their homes and live a peaceful life. In two years' time, I see myself happy and at peace, living in my own home. Your support means the world to me, and I can't thank you enough for helping me on this journey.
