Keep a roof over Daniel's head in Perth
A termination letter arrived last week. Daniel needs $4,850 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Perth.

When the construction firm closed in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $4,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $3,450
• Late fees and court costs: $310
• Utilities in arrears: $150
• First month of rent as a buffer: $940
Thanks for reading all this.
