After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $700 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $490 • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • First month of rent as a buffer: $120 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • Hope it all works out, Chamari. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
