Please help secure a home for mum & foster carer
Donation protected
Hi, I am a single mum of 3 children and a foster carer for a beautiful 3-year-old.
We have to vacate as the owner of our rental property is moving in. Over the last 12 months, my rent has increased from $510 a week to $680. Currently, 100% of my wage is going towards rent; leaving me relying on friends and family to help pay utilities and buy food.
I am acutely aware that there are so many others out there also feeling the sting of this rental crisis here in QLD, but with a foster baby in my care who has been with us since she was 12 weeks old, if we can’t secure a home we lose her - and this will have a detrimental effect on her as well as us.
Child safety has helped me complete a social housing application and provided a letter of support - but that’s all they can do.
This is why I’ve turned to crowdfunding.
Those who know me well, know that I am that person that gives my last anything to anyone in need - but now it is me who is in a state of need and desperation. I never ask for help - but with time running out - I am in the direst of situations.
For the sake of transparency - all funds donated will be used to secure a rental (pay bond and rent upfront to increase my likelihood of being approved), or if the need arises; pay for crisis accommodation in the meantime.
Should we be lucky enough to secure accommodation quickly, funds will also be used to cover moving and relocation costs, bond cleaning and other incidental costs associated.
