My three daughters are my world. Everything I do is so that they can have a better future, but also so that I can create a better future for myself.
I was placed in temporary accommodation through the Council many years ago, but each time the landlord wanted the property back I was moved on without having any stability. At the moment, my rent is unaffordable as my benefits are limited because I'm not working. I worry about it all the time.
I'm hoping to start work as soon as possible as a cleaner and then later this year train as a security officer, once my kids are all in school. The chance to gain a real qualification will open up new and exciting opportunities for me. I'm hoping to be a CCTV operator in the future.
All I'm hoping for is a secure job, with good pay, and a nice home. I want to see my kids succeed at school and to see them go off to university, going into great careers afterwards. That's the dream I have.
I have faced many challenges throughout my life. Despite it all, I like to say that I have a 'P.M.T.' - a Positive Mental Attitude. Every day is a new start.
