Hello, I’m Viktoria. I moved to the UK from Ukraine with my family due to the ongoing War. We have had a difficult time trying to find permanent housing the past few months and our current situation is just as challenging. My current landlord has a family of five who we also live with and have two rooms allocated to us. It is difficult to share a kitchen between two families and even more difficult to share a bathroom.
News from our homeland does not bring peace of mind - our hometown has been under daily shelling since the first days of the war and we understand that we will not be able to return in the near future, so we are doing all we can to adapt to life in the UK. This includes studying at college to improve communication skills although my husband has a disability, so he cannot work at full capacity. Our daughter is settling in and studying in college for her chosen profession.
We are happy that we were advised to contact Beam. Beam employees have treated our situation with understanding and compassion while providing support and assistance. I am so grateful for the support from everyone, thank you.
