After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,450. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave. I've 2 children 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 $3,450 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,850 • Late fees and court costs: $320 • Utilities in arrears: $300 • First month of rent as a buffer: $980 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Mardan so I could bring a meal. Love from Jimma.
