Keep a roof over Patrick's head in Perth
A termination letter arrived last week. Patrick needs $1,300 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Perth.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,300.
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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $860
• Utilities in arrears: $240
• Late fees and court costs: $200
Thanks for being kind about this.
