Vaiangina is the sole provider for his wife and four children and represents many Pacific families struggling to pay for basic needs.
He works a fulltime job and lives in transitional housing, meaning he pays only $155 per week for rent, but still struggles to make ends meet as he's the only one working.
"Normally I used to have enough but just at the beginning of this year, I can't have any left over," Vaiangina says.
“Even with that $155 going out for my rent, I still can't save anything else after two weeks."
