Welcome
Desperate Disabled Sole Parent. Two days ago she said she was embarassed, not because I'm disabled, but because "Even though i love you Dad, we are so poor". That staement broke me up. Like ANY father, I want my daughter to, at least, not be ashamed of me. If you are a parent then try and imagine how you would feel! Please help in any way you can..you will change our lives forever. We have nothing.
I haven't bought clothes or anything else for myself for over 6yrs. We can never afford school excursions or camps that need to be paid for. We wont be having Christmas. We just try and forget it's Christmas. Only the lucky celebrate Christmas's. We only have each other, we'll celebrate that but I can't even get my beautiful girl the cheapest of gifts. We had all our shoes stolen from outside the front door so the money i'd saved for her present will have to go on a pair of shoes for her. Things only seem to get worse.
My family abandoned me years ago but I will never abandon my daughter but I need help. I'm to restart university next semester but we don't even have a permanent place to live. Private rent is too much on my pension. At the moment we only have about $40 a week to live on after rent and utilities are paid at the place we have until mid-Feb. As it is there is no way that i can afford even the most basic Christmas gift for her. Can you help. PLEASE....WILL YOU HELP!? I have no other financial help like that available to single mothers etc. Help simply doesn't exist!! I guess I'm begging but I will do absolutely anything (legal) to help my daughter and try to improve her life.
I may even be kidding myself regarding returning to uni as even as I type this I am in almost unbearable pain. I swear on my daughter's life that all I say here is true. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO. ANY HELP WILL BE SO MUCH APPRECIATED. If you like I will even send you emails on our progress. Thankyou for taking the time to read this..please consider wether you would like to CHANGE OUR LIVES FOREVER. May your God Bless You.

Well; it seems no-one could care less. In mid Feb we will have to move out of here and I cannot face the street yet again. Child protection will take my daughter anyway unless a miracle happens and she is the only thing I live for. She'll be upset but will have a much better life than anything i can offer. I knew out of the millions of people who are on the internet that not one of them would care less. I just wanted to give it a try and hope that maybe life was worth living. I was wrong. I have never been so low. God hates me. Why I dont know or care. All I know is I cant take it anymore. February please come quickly...I turn 50 then and if I have nothing by then, why continue. I'm nothing but white trash. Australia..the lucky country if your not cursed. Unfortunately I am cursed. And the only people who say you make your own luck are the lucky. Life is too hard.
