Help a Dad bring his babies back.

$8 of $10,000 goal

Given by 3 generous donors in around 3 months

I am trying to bring my 3 babeis back to Auckland, where I can look after them, and be there for them,like a Dad is meant to be.

Auckland

I have shared care of my 3 babies, aged 5,6 &7, as I want to be a part of their lives and be a responsible parent. I have a full time job, with a locked 2 year contract, that requires me to work alternating shifts.

The shared care agreement I have with their mum is on a week on-week off basis.

I was employing babysitters to help me on my week on,so that I could go to work. Due to the high costs involved, I soon started falling into financial trouble. I was neglecting my accounts in order to keep the babysitter paid and fell into arrears with all my accounts. I made numerous small loans to try keep my head above water, but everything soon caught up. I had to give up our 2 bedroom unit after falling 4 weeks in arrears with my rent. I was also constantly declined any assistance from WINZ.

It was decided that my babies go live with my parents down south, until I can sort my finances out.That was 4 months ago, and I have been unable to see them since.Due to a change in circumstances,their mum could not take them full time either.

I have tried to rectify my finances with no success. I have tried to consolidate my debts,but due to a now poor credit history, I am constantly declined.

My goal and intended plan for the donations, is to pay off the majority of these loans. This will give me the oppertunity to be able to save up for a bond and furniture for a house again. I will then be able to bring my babeis back to Auckland.

I intend on renting a 3/4 bedroom house, and employing an Au-pair to assist me with my babies.The cost of the Au-pair is around $250 per week, and I need to provide them with food and a room of their own. This will all become affordable once these loans have been repaid.

Due to their mums circumstances, I may even be able to have them full time.

I had children so that I could look after them, and raise them to be the best possible people they can be. I should be the one taking care of them, not my parents. I love and miss them so much, and want more than anything to have them back with me.
