After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500. 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $500 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $20 • First month of rent as a buffer: $95 • Rent arrears (2 months): $385 Thank you so much.

Updates from Anita

  1. Quick update: $115 raised so far (23%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($35 in total) I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $25 so far, the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled.

  • Wishing you peace, Anita. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Springfield!

    • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Anita?

      • Thank you. If you're in Lalitpur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

    • Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Brescia.

      • how is Anita doing now?

        • Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Mekelle donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

          • sending good thoughts, Anita. Hope this works out for you. After 26 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            • Take care, Anita. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.

              • I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Brescia!

                • best of luck, Anita. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did

                  • you're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Oakland so I could bring a meal. God bless.
