When the call centre closed in February, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,500. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave. I've 1 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 weekend shifts, 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 $3,500 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,400 • Late fees and court costs: $155 • Utilities in arrears: $240 • First month of rent as a buffer: $705 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Easton

      Sending strength, Easton. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Ibadan.

        keep going. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
