Hello, I'm Zara. The past few years have been a real struggle for my family and me. We've been living in a property that was riddled with damp and mould, which caused us all to develop asthma. My youngest child was hit the hardest, missing school and coughing so much it was heartbreaking. We had to leave everything behind, including our bed and mattress, and move into emergency accommodation. Now, we're four people sharing one double bed in a single room. I've been trying to find a better home for us, but it's been a tough journey.
I love spending time with my children and cooking healthy meals for them, but our current living conditions make this challenging. I've lost a lot of confidence and hope in the process of finding a new home. But then I found Beam. I couldn't believe there was a service out there willing to help people like us. It's been a lifeline and has given me hope that we can find a safe, healthy home where my children can thrive.
Looking ahead, I can't wait to move into a new home. It's not just about having a roof over our heads, but about providing a safe and stable environment for my children. In two years' time, I hope to be settled in a new home, watching my children grow and thrive in a healthy environment. Achieving this goal with Beam will feel unreal, and I can't wait for that day to come.
