Hello, my name is Olha. I'm from Ukraine, but due to the war, I had to flee with my family - my daughter and my mother - to England. Our journey has been challenging and filled with uncertainty. We had to leave everything we knew and loved behind, including our home and our belongings. Now, we're looking for support to find a new home here, a place where my daughter can continue to play outdoors, make new friends, and go to school, just like any other child.
The biggest challenge we've faced has been leaving our usual life and moving into uncertainty. It's been tough, but we're staying strong and hopeful. Knowing that there are people out there who want to support us in achieving our goal gives us strength. It's heartwarming to realise that there are people who care and want to help us during this difficult time.
Launching our donations page is exciting because it gives us a chance to say thank you to everyone who supports us. Beam is a team of true professionals who know their business and can help with issues that migrants face. I remember my first meeting with my caseworker, who gave me very valuable advice on how to talk to agents and what to look for.
Your donations will help us find a new home and pay for rent and services. Thank you very much to each of you - you give people hope and a fulcrum from which they can move on. When we achieve our goal with Beam and move into our new house, we'll feel protected and confident about our future. We hope that in two years' time, we'll see peace and be able to return home. Until then, we're grateful for your support. Thanks from our whole family.
