Hello, my name is Shane and my family and I are in a dire sitaution. My family are the ones you can see in the campaign photo. My wife Bella, and children Henry and Indiana.

It has been a very hard time for my family in a number of ways in the last 6-12 months.

Among common troubles, my wife's mother died suddenly and under suspicious circumstances which left us completely shocked and devastated and our financial issues started when I was abruptly and without warning unfairly dismissed from my last job (for accidentally losing a set of keys and despite a squeaky clean record for my 4.5 years of prior service)

I missed out on gaining the financial justice we really needed due to my application for unfair dismissal unintentionally being lodged one day late (due to a misunderstanding regarding the timeframe in which you can lodge - a discrepency between the state and federal system in WA)

My lawyer had stated that my case was very strong and that had I been granted the time extension I was seeking to get to lodge my case - I would have won.... hands down ...

Then, as if things could not get any worse for us, just a couple of months ago my wonderful wife suffered a serious miscarriage and we lost a little soul who would have been our third child. Our other children are Indiana (3) and Henry (20 months)

I understand that everyone has hard times and that we all have to get through them, but due to my major loss of income and the fact that we have been unable to secure the work we need, we are now quite literally staring down the barrel of losing our family home - the thing my wife and I hold so dear and that we worked so long and hard to make ours.

To be honest, I am scared... as we are on the verge of bankruptcy, something that would devastate us for many years to come.

I am never one to ask for charity, but our situation is so dire and I've had no luck in any other area. These funds will go to securing our house and saving us from financial ruin. My family really deserves a break - especially my wife. I just would like to not have to spend every minute of the day worrying. My wife has been applying for full time work for months and months now and has been unsuccessful in landing a job as she has been a full time mother to our children for the past three years!

If there are people who are able and willing to contribute, even a small amount, in the name of goodwill and help us in a time of true and absolute need, then we may just be able to come out the other side of this and keep our home

The funds donated will be put into securing our financial situation and save us from losing our home.

My family and I will be ever so grateful for your help and I aim to write a personal thank to all who take the time to help our family which is why I have asked for your address.

I am asking from the botom of my heart for you to please help a family who are truly in need. I am absolutely swallowing my pride by asking for assistance. Thank you so much for reading our story - I hope you can assist!

Warm Regards
Shane
