Hey my name is Amber and I am a single mother in a bad situation. This is extremely embarrassing for me to talk about but I am about to be homeless and I am doing everything in my power to not let that happen.

I have had some very bad luck after having my daughter and I have found myself in a position where I am not able to work full time due to looking after her and not being able to send her to daycare full time. I am not able to receive the full single parenting payment nor am I eligible for the childcare subsidy which is what has left me in this position. I have had very bad luck with bills and other things that has made my situation worse. I was meant to only be in my current house for 6 months and then I was going to live in my a investment property and help renovate it for living but due to unforeseen circumstances that is longer an option. This means I have to pay $900 rent a fortnight on my house when I only receive $900 a fortnight. I also have $2000 worth of debt that I pay $800 towards a fortnight which I have desperately been trying to clear for the last few months but was faced with new challenges like almost losing my teeth if I didn’t get an operation on them. This has meant I have had to go into further debt to get food for me and my daughter which is why I have struggled to get out of my situation so much. So I am left in a vicious cycle and it’s only getting worse.

I have been doing everything I can do get out of this like applying for hundreds of at home jobs. Trying to stream which does provide a small relief but is not enough and I have even done things that I have not wanted to do like sell things that meant a lot to me. I found a solution to working from home and having a background in beauty I will be starting my own eyelash extension business that will allow me to work from home. This is amazing and I am grateful to be able to do this but unfortunately it won’t be done in time to get me out of this situation and being able to pay rent so that is why I am doing this.

this is the last thing I want to do and I am extremely embarrassed to be doing this but I have explored every avenue and my best friend has convinced me to not be ashamed to ask for help.

with your help I promise you I will not let myself EVER be in this situation again and will work so hard to provide a good life for me and my daughter.

I have made the goal for $3000

$2000 to get rid of my debt that I have so at least my $900 I get can go towards rent and the rest for one month of rent until my business has properly started.
