The 34 year old divorced mum also has a 11 year old son is staying with her elderly parents. Her mum still works as a cleaner and brings home around $1,100 each month. Ashura’s dad is unfit for work due to his heart issues. Worried about her mum’s ailing health, Ashura hopes to take over the responsibility of providing for her family, but her mum is also struggling to manage as the caregiving duties are starting to take a toll on her health.

Ray fo Hope will be referring Ashura’s sister to a daycare centre while Ashura tries to look for a job. With the Circuit Breaker measures in place, it may take a few months before Ashura is able to get a full-time job.
