I’ve been sofa surfing at my friend’s house for the past three weeks. Before that, I was living with my grandad and taking care of him. Sadly, my grandad passed away earlier this year. As the house was registered under his name I had no choice but to move out. I have nowhere else to go.
I’ve tried applying for universal credit, but because I attend university two days a week I’m not eligible. It's really difficult. Applying to university and being accepted at my age was such a huge achievement for me. I'm studying health and social care, and I'm so proud of myself.
I want to find a part-time role as a support worker so I can build up my experience and work my way towards my dream of becoming an advocate for women's rights. I also want to gain more confidence and build my self-esteem. Thank you for your support!
