Hi everyone! I am so excited to be part of Beam and to be able to launch my campaign on this wonderful platform. My journey up to now has not been an easy one. I was residing in Ukraine with the full hope to make life comfortable for me and my family. Unfortunately as I was getting on my feet the war ravaged us. Everything was lost including my home and job, all I had to flee with was the clothes I was wearing.
I witnessed bombs destroying my home and my neighbourhood. It was a traumatic experience which affected my mental wellbeing. Now, I am focussing on and believing in the positives. This has been my coping strategy. Coming to the United Kingdom feels like the start of my journey to create a new life. It has been incredibly helpful to get Beam's support; they have been incessantly giving me solutions and trying to help me achieve my dreams.
My goal right now is to simply grow. I am determined to move forward from strength to strength and overcome any barrier. I want to improve my current set of skills, my knowledge and gain new experiences. With this, I can provide for myself, my family, and others around me. One day I hope to also give back to the community around me.
