I'm a very active person, I enjoy doing activities that keep me motivated, such as dancing. I love exploring London with my child and being in nature.
I'm a single Mum to a wonderful toddler who will be three years old soon. I've always had a caring nature, which is why I'm really enjoying motherhood. I used to work with vulnerable young people in a refuge and I also have a background working with people with special needs. I haven't been in work since I had my child and I really want the opportunity to work with vulnerable people and families again.
I've had firsthand experience of being in a Refuge as I am a survivor of domestic violence so I feel like I have a lot to offer someone else experiencing the same thing. When I lived in the hostel I enjoyed being myself and supporting others and giving advice where I could. I found that so rewarding.
For my future, I want the simple things in life - I want to live in a stable home, I want my child to continue going to school and I want them to thrive in an educational environment, I'd also like to learn how to drive. At the moment I'm in temporary accommodation and it's not suitable for my child's development. I would like to go travelling. I want to sort out our passports and take my son somewhere. I want to sort out my exercise routine. I want to progress in every single way!
It's been hard sharing my story but I also think it's amazing, putting myself out there for this support - it's something I would be so ashamed to do among my own family and friends. With this campaign I don't feel guilty or that I owe anyone, it feels like I'm being supported by a whole community.
