Please help me, my son and brothers!

Hi there, my name is jewelz emery and I am 19 years old. I have been attending a teen parent unit that I have been at since my son was 4 months old. To complete my NCEA Level 3 and UE entrance.

I have a handsome 1 year old son, that I cherish and love forever. I continue to, even when things turned from not only looking after my baby boy, but also having to look after my 5 younger brothers who are 4,6,10,12 and 14. I was 18 years old, going to school and caring for my son when I ended up taking care of 4 of my brothers in April, leaving me and my family fighting for my 12 year old brother who has just returned home to us 1/2/17. He had spent 5 months in Christchurch residence. I am also having trouble to guide my 14 year old brother out of the direction he has been brought up around, that isnt easy.. very stressful and tiring!

I am currently seeking help to get me, my brothers and son a legal and safe vehicle. It has been a very rough time financially. Trying to save for the right car for us all, but because of all my expenses, I am only left with a little. From only a few fines to now, over $2000 worth.. I risked all of that just to drive an illegal vehicle to get me, my son and brothers to and from school. I know I shouldnt have, but to me, education is the key. So I take them to school every day because they never got the chance to before they came into my care. It is not a "want" is a very big NEED to me,my baby and brothers. All the help will be much appreciated!

I would also love to reward my brothers by taking them on a road trip or something memorable, just us. But not even I can afford that. They deserve more then I can give. So that would an awesome gift. To being 19 and a full time student, mother,caregiver AND older sister,I sure do get tired. Something relaxing.

All I have to say, is thank yous very much for reading my story. God bless you all xxx
