Hello, I'm Sam. I'm a mum to a beautiful 19-month-old daughter and we have another little one on the way, due in November! What makes me happiest in the world is spending time with my daughter on days out, watching her take an interest in absolutely everything. We're so excited for her to become a big sister! But right now, we're facing a huge challenge. Our landlord is selling the property we've been living in for the last five years and we need to find a new home that's affordable, allows pets (we have a lovely 9-year-old chihuahua), and is close enough to our work so we can keep supporting the family.
Just when we found out about the pregnancy, our landlord told us we needed to move out, which came as a shock. The cost of housing these days is a real struggle, especially as my partner had just been made redundant. Fortunately, he's found a new job starting in September, but the company can't pay him yet, so we're struggling with the first month's rent and deposit. We're at risk of eviction and we don't have anyone to support us with our housing situation.
Knowing that there are kind people out there who want to support us to achieve our goal of moving into a stable home makes us feel so grateful and appreciative. In two years' time, I want us to be settled in our new home with our two daughters and our dog. Achieving this goal with Beam would be a massive relief! So, thank you so much for any donation you can make. It's hugely appreciated and will make a real difference to our lives.
