After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $700
• Late fees and court costs: $100
• Utilities in arrears: $70
• First month of rent as a buffer: $230

how is Annelie doing now?
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Mombasa but we're thinking of you.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Praying for you, Annelie. Looking forward to the next update.
Wishing you peace, Annelie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
Take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope things get better soon, Annelie. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Amsterdam!
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gqeberha.
Hang in there, Annelie. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Annelie. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
you're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Gqeberha.

Thinking of you, Annelie. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Gqeberha.
