I live in Perth, Western Australia, split with my ex in 2009... we had 4 children together and now she looks after them full time and I do the weekend daddy thing... Currently I live at my mates place, they smoke and it sucks, I hate having my children their, my alternative is at home with my mum, but I'm nearly 30, we don't get along too well and my children don't like her house.

Given the breakup, a majority of my pay now goes towards child support and bad debt I was left to clean up, I want to have my children more often, but at this rate I'll never be able to move out and afford my own place..

This isn't about greed, I'm looking to raise enough money for a nice deposit, or even enough to get rid of some of the bad debt quicker so I can save for a deposit myself.

I'd love to be able to afford my own house, you'll see a picture above of a floor plan I particularly like... this would be perfect for me to have my children at more often. If I manage to raise enough money to buy a house (or a sizable deposit), I promise that 20% will be donated to the unlucky children who don't have a home at Christmas each year.

Please consider making a donation and telling your friends...

Thank you
