As a mentally disabled person, going from homeless to finding a long term home that you can be proud of has felt almost impossible at times. Without people to help, I don't think I'd be able to achieve it.
Getting a Landlord to accept the risk of having someone on low income rent is difficult. So having the help and support from everyone at Beam, even when it comes to just answering questions has been amazing.
The idea of being within a house I can be proud of, able to move myself forward and have somewhere safe to start a university degree is what excites me most about finding a home. It will be amazing to have somewhere that is mine that I can be proud of, and be quiet when I need to and feel safe. In 3 years I hope to be most of the way through my new degree and to have improved my life in almost every way.
