Using infinitive phrases.

Hi,

I am trying to combine the following sentence using two infinitive phrases.

Tom has to get up at five most mornings. He does a part-time cleaning job. He wants to make ends meet.

-Tom has to get up at five most mornings to do a part-time cleaning job to make ends meet.

Is the combined sentence correct?

Thanks.
