When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,150. 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've 2 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $2,150 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,250 • Late fees and court costs: $155 • Utilities in arrears: $195 • First month of rent as a buffer: $550 If you're reading this, thank you. - Delphine

    sending strength, Delphine. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 6 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
