I have a few proud moments that come to mind when I look back on my life. Back in China, I learnt how to drive huge trucks and I was able to gain my HGV licence. Emigrating with my children to the UK in search for a better life was also a very proud moment. I moved alone in 2003 and my family followed a year after.
We need support from Beam as we are currently being evicted from our home. This has been our home for the past 10 years but the landlord has chosen to evict us so that they can develop the property. I always try to keep in good spirits but the state of my housing situation is beginning to weigh me down.
Having this kind of support is a new feeling all together. It’s not something we have ever experienced. Without this help we wouldn’t be able to get all the furniture we need to make the property into a true home. I hope we are able to quickly settle into our new home so that I can focus on my job and begin to look forward again.
