I have experienced particular trauma over the past two years.  Having separated from my partner I found myself in a very difficult place.  I lost my home and have not been able to work due to these circumstances.  I am now settled in a secure accommodation and finally feel I would like to regain my confidence and enter the workplace again.  I hope to be given this opportunity.
