   I'm a disabled Indigenous queer person who exists on Jobseeker, which means almost 50% ($269/week) below the poverty line ($489/week).

   After living in the same house for almost 10 years, I recently had to move as the new landlords decided to renovate so they could increase the rent.

   Moving has cost me over $4000, and ended up putting me almost $2500 in debt.

   Because of moving, my JobSeeker payments have been decreased by over $100 a fortnight until Centrelink approves my lease paperwork and I can get rent assistance again.

   I'm in a new house with a new landlord, and am barely able to make rent at the moment, let alone cover bills and food.

   I hate asking, but please consider helping if you can - I'd be super grateful.
