Hi, I'm Ree. I've always found joy in simple things like cleaning and going for walks in nature. It's my way of managing my mental and physical health, and it keeps me grounded. But for a long time, my life hasn't been that simple. I've faced some serious challenges, the biggest one being the abuse I suffered as a child. It's a part of my past that I've had to carry with me, and it's been really tough.
I'm currently living at home with my mum and sister, but I'm desperate to move into a stable home of my own. I've been working in childcare for HMRC, but it's on a zero-hours contract, and I'm looking for something more secure. My goal is to leave the toxic environment of my family home before my brother, who was abusive, is released. I want to build a life where I'm free from the past and can start fresh.
Knowing that there are people out there who want to support me in achieving this goal makes me incredibly happy. It's exciting to think about launching my Beam donations page and knowing that people care. In two years' time, I hope to have my own place and maybe even my own family. Achieving this goal would be a huge step forward for me. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for helping me move forward with my life.
