I have a daughter who is now just eight weeks old. She’s my world.
In May this year I became homeless when my relationship failed. It didn’t end well and I was unable to financially support myself as I had just had a baby. I went to Greenwich Council to see if they could support us. I’m so grateful to my housing officer there who gave me hope. She is an amazing person. I only wish I could meet her personally; due to the virus our communication has only been over the phone. I'm so grateful to her for what she's done.
This experience of has shown me that there are good people out there who are willing to help you to get out of a bad situation. I've got hope from this as well. I’ve learnt to rely on myself above all, to know that I can support us both and solve this issue.
I’m working with Beam to find somewhere we can call a home. This is the first important step for us! I’m not getting a job just yet as I need to raise my child first, but within the next year my plan is to return to work as I like to keep busy and I want to start saving for my daughter. I want to give her the best start in her adult life that I can give.
In a few years, my dream is to start working in the beauty industry. I want to be able to come back home after a hard day's work and just be with my daughter.
