Against all odds, i managed to finally build my modest forever home for myself and beautiful best fur friends Murphy and Micheál.

As luck would have it, 4 weeks after getting the keys I was made redundant.

Because I got a small payout (evaporated quickly being an empty unpainted home with no furniture etc)

Centrelink decided I would have to wait 3 months before I can get anything and still have 3 weeks to go.

Superannuation release unavailable because you have to be receiving centrelink for 6 months!

Hoping after Christmas firm's will start rehiring, have only seen 3 jobs advertised for what I do in the last 4 months.

Bills are piling up quicker than I can deal with them, and along with that the reoccurance of depression and anxiety.

This is not a position I thought I would see myself in trying a go fund me and I feel guilty even trying as I am so aware their will be many more people doing it tougher.

Any respite I can get from the bills and notices piling up would be so appreciated especially over Christmas.

Phil, Murphy, Micheál
