Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,150. 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 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 night deliveries, 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 $3,150 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,800 • Late fees and court costs: $195 • Utilities in arrears: $270 • First month of rent as a buffer: $885 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Angelica

  • Hope it all works out, Angelica. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

    • Hope it all works out, Angelica. Hope you get there.

      • sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.

        • Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.

          • thinking of you and your family, Angelica. Hope you get there
