Tereena Lingard

Hi my name's Tereena. I'm currently pregnant with my 5th child. I don't have an actual house I can call home. My mums house was home to me until my sister has said she doesn't except me having another baby and doesn't want me living there. She also lives at my mums. I'm currently staying with my partner in Gosnells, which is Abit iffy because he tells me to get out quite often if we have a fight. Constantly struggling with money even tho I have a job which I'm unable to do for much longer because of my pregnancy. Because I'm from new Zealand I'm entitled to family assistance benefit but that's it. This is approximately 300 a fortnight. So without my job money I don't have much. I'm living in gosnells but my job is in baldivis. I have a car but it is proving more bad more difficult to afford petrol. I can feel myself getting sucked into a black hole and I desperately need to do something to get out of this. I would love assistance into getting into my own home. That's all I've wanted for the past 2 years. My older children live with their dad and won't visit me because I have no home for them to come to. I believe in rent being the first bill you pay and just need a chance.
