After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,300. 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 two young 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 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. 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 $3,300 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,450 • Late fees and court costs: $105 • Utilities in arrears: $85 • First month of rent as a buffer: $660 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Antonella

Updates from Antonella

  1. Small update. $1,993 so far, I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($702 in total) I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
