Hi, I'm Rachael and I'm on a journey to find a stable home and advance in my career. Life has thrown some curveballs my way, but I'm determined to overcome them. I'm eager to progress at my job however, my housing situation has been unstable and it's been a challenge to find a place that would accept a hardworking professional with an IVA. I needed support with securing a property. This is crucial for me, not just for my peace of mind, but also so I can focus on my career and future plans.
The things that make me happy are seeing others happy and being surrounded by my loved ones. My friends at work have been incredibly supportive, especially during difficult times. I'm a fun, bubbly and outgoing person, but the threat of homelessness has been a constant worry and stress. I've worked hard for my wages, but the cost of a down payment and first month's rent is a big stretch.
When I heard about Beam, I was overjoyed. I didn't even know such a service existed. The thought of finally reaching out to people who are willing to listen, help and support me after facing so many rejections is beyond belief. I hope to inspire others out there struggling like me that not every struggle is permanent. I'm taking this opportunity to start fresh and I'm excited about the future. In two years, I hope to be further up in my job, have a steady car, and be comfortable in a home I can finally call mine.
