The story
Only recently obtained a rental after living in the car for 5.5 months with a 2 and 4 year old boy.
11 services turned me away and the best they could provide at the time was shelter in the car park for us to sleep in with the car
I am now disqualified 4 years from driving due to being suspended at the time of homelessness, so I kept getting caught when having to move the car.
Mental health is honestly sh1t. I am not really coping with day to day life, I pay $1420 in rent a fortnight and I receive $1600 a fortnight. I can not work due to not being able to have the children in full time care cause of their availability. I feel as if I am in a crap cycle right now and if anyone out there is reading, if you could somehow please help I would appreciate it so much.

Five and a half months in a car with two small children, then rebuilding on such a thin margin, is more than most could carry. May the cycle loosen and some support reach you.
Your boys are watching how their mother keeps going, and that will stay with them. Hoping the days get lighter from here.
Faithfulness to family over many years is not wasted, even when it looks like a mess right now. Wishing you a calmer season and a fresh start.
Being turned away by eleven services and still finding a rental for you and your children shows real grit. Praying practical help arrives and that you get a breather soon.
Keeping two little ones safe through homelessness and then holding a rental together on that margin is exhausting. Praying for a once off help that gives you room to breathe and for your mental health to be cared for too.
