Hello there, I'm Tony. I'm a father to five wonderful children, two of whom are living with me. We've been renting a place since July 2016, always ensuring to pay our rent on time. But things took a turn for the worse during the lockdown. Our home developed damp, mould, and water leaks. We tried to fix everything ourselves, but the damage was too extensive. Despite our efforts, our landlord served us with a section 21 notice because she didn't want to pay for the necessary repairs. Now, we're at risk of eviction and all we want is to find a new, stable home.
I've faced a lot of challenges in my life. I have epilepsy and have had to deal with fainting spells. I also had an accident in 2017 that affected my back and left knee, which now requires me to use crutches. Despite these physical challenges, what keeps me going is spending time with my sons and the hope of finding a new home.
Knowing that there are people out there who want to support us in achieving our goal of finding a new home really makes me happy. I'm excited about launching this Beam donations page because I believe in the good that people can do. I'm looking forward to the day when I can say thank you to each and every one of you for helping us find a new home. In two years' time, I just want a peaceful life, without the stress of an impending eviction. Achieving this goal with Beam will mean relaxation and enjoyment, a life free of the stress that has been weighing us down for the past 13 months.
