After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter 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 November, 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 $700 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• Rent arrears (4 months): $500
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Dhruv
Quick update: $167 raised so far (24%). the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($110). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Makati.
Keep going, Dhruv. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Pretoria
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Mandaue this morning. Thinking of Gaya.
This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Greetings from San Jose.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 15 people at work.
