I used to study and be really happy. When I started being in a romantic relationship, I moved away from my home to be with him and ended up staying in an abusive relationship for 7 years. I got pregnant and after my son was born, I hoped that my ex-partner's behaviour would change, but sadly this did not happen. One day, he almost killed me so I had to flee, for my safety and my son's. This is when I became homeless.
Currently, I am trying my best but I have been struggling a lot to raise a child on my own because I am not from London. Being alone and not having any family members for support has been very difficult.
For the future, I dream to have a great job, live in a place where me and my son can be happy and secure. I am so pleased and excited to be working with Beam to get there, and I am very grateful to finally get the support that me and my son really need!
