Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Violet's family in Mandurah
A long illness left Violet short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, Violet fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,100.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Violet has started working night deliveries, and is 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 $2,100 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,350
• Late fees and court costs: $130
• Utilities in arrears: $115
• First month of rent as a buffer: $505
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Sharon
Good news. Because of your gifts ($363 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Stay strong, Sharon. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
sending strength, Sharon. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Sending good thoughts, Sharon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Rooting for you, Sharon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Johannesburg.
