I have three young children from 8 years old to 2 months old! Life’s been hard for us because we’ve had to move from place to place. The instability is so difficult. My family and I were kicked out of our previous accommodation because the landlord wanted his flat back, and then we lived in my friend’s house in one room for a year. It was so cramped and there just wasn’t enough space for us all.
The council has recently moved us to temporary accommodation outside of London, so I’m finally starting to feel stable. But the commute to my son’s school is one and a half hours. Once I’ve dropped my son off in the morning, it doesn’t make sense for me to go back home again. So I have to stick around before picking him up again. It’s really difficult, and it just makes finding work even harder. My wife can’t do the school pick up and drop off as she’s been unwell recently.
My dream for the future is to have a stable job, a stable house and a stable life for my family. I would like to work in hospitality because I have experience working as a chef, and I really enjoy meeting new people. I'm finally starting to feel stable, and I'm determined to build a new and brighter future for my family and I! It’s one step at a time. Thank you for your help.
