For the past 9 months, I've been living with my two sons in a refuge. We left my husband and our home because the home environment was not safe - I didn't want my sons to be around people taking drugs. It has been really difficult looking after myself and my children but I am feeling strong, healthy and ready to start a great new chapter in life.
With Beam's support, I am hoping to move to a new flat in a different town. I plan to start working once I have the stability of no longer being in temporary accommodation and I know my children will be much happier in a proper home. I enjoy doing sport, working with children and I would like to start work in a shop, where I can help people with what they are looking for.
Being homeless has been so tough. I am optimistic about the future now I have the opportunity to lived in a decent, stable home with my children and start working. I am so grateful to Beam supporters for helping to give me this chance to improve my life and those of my two sons. It means so much to me!
