Life has been really stressful for me over the last few years. I am diabetic which has brought about many challenges as I have not had the means to buy food that is suitable for my condition. I have been out of work since 2020, and have been struggling to find work ever since.
I have many years of experience working in fostering and after reconnecting with family members at my aunt's funeral last year, I have found a new sense of motivation and drive to find work again. I really want to have enough income to visit my family abroad. I am looking to get into support worker and administration type roles.
A big blocker for me at the moment is not having a laptop to search for jobs independently. I feel very grateful for any support you can give to help me find stability and independence in my life again.
