Hello, my name is Dani and I'm a young mum of two adorable munchkins: a sweet boy who is eight years old and a little madame who is two years old. And from the September 7th, the day that my boy is due to happily be returning to school with his peers, I won't be able to provide a house for them because we are being evicted.

2016 and 2017 have been extremely challenging and while I tried to hold onto our house with everything I could I failed because sometimes that's what happens when you're fighting on your own. UK has been my home for over 10 years but I don't have any family in the UK, I'm not entitled to any state benefits, I don't qualify for loans, I've just recently became self employed yet still no money to show for it. I owe £8,000 in rent therefore I understand my landlord frustration and why its requesting its property back; I offered to pay £3,000 by Sep 18th but was told to pay £4,500 by the 5th in order to stop de eviction.

I know I only got myself to blame for my circumstances and that there's probably people out there that need more than I do but that doesn't diminish my will to desperately try to find a way to spare my children the fear and uncertainty that homelessness would mean.

Thank you,

Dani
