Request for Urgent Housing Transfer on Compassionate and Medical Grounds

Re: Request for Urgent Housing Transfer on Compassionate and Medical Grounds

To Whom It May Concern,

We are writing to respectfully request that Mrs Ameena Khiati be given urgent consideration for a housing transfer due to her current medical circumstances and significant family responsibilities.

Mrs Khiati is currently six months pregnant, with an expected due date in approximately three months. She is experiencing severe Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), a serious pregnancy-related condition that causes persistent nausea, vomiting, dehydration, and extreme physical weakness. As a result of this condition, her ability to carry out normal daily activities has been significantly affected.

Mrs Khiati currently resides in a small three-bedroom, one-bathroom (3x1) apartment with her three school-aged children, the youngest of whom is seven years old. The current accommodation is no longer suitable for the family's needs, particularly with the imminent arrival of a new baby.

In addition, the family home is located approximately 30 minutes from the children's school, requiring a 60-minute round trip each school day. Due to the severity of her medical condition, it is unsafe for Mrs Khiati to drive these distances. The symptoms associated with HG place her at increased risk while operating a vehicle, making the daily school commute both physically challenging and potentially dangerous.

Although Mrs Khiati has previously been advised that she may be considered for a transfer after the birth of her baby, we respectfully ask that this position be reconsidered. The period immediately following childbirth should be focused on her physical recovery, caring for her newborn, and supporting her three older children. Relocating during the postpartum period would place an unnecessary physical and emotional burden on the family at a time when stability is essential.

Furthermore, Mrs Khiati has no immediate family support available in Perth. Her mother and sister live outside Perth and are therefore unable to provide regular practical assistance during her pregnancy or after the birth. This lack of local family support makes access to more suitable housing even more critical.

Given the combination of her serious medical condition, advanced pregnancy, unsuitable housing, distance from the children's school, and absence of local family support, we respectfully request that Mrs Khiati be granted priority consideration for a housing transfer before the birth of her child.

We appreciate your understanding and compassionate consideration of this request. We sincerely hope that, in light of these exceptional circumstances, an urgent transfer can be approved to provide Mrs Khiati and her family with a safer and more suitable living environment.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours faithfully,
