After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 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 $450 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $85
• First month of rent as a buffer: $300
• Late fees and court costs: $65
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Elaine.
It's all in the list in the story. utilities in arrears is the big one at $85, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
Hang in there, Elaine. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
take care, Elaine. Hope you get there. Take care.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Elaine?
Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Thinking of you, Elaine. Hope you get there. After 10 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Epe.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Moscow but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Love from Kano.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Pokhara.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Cambridge
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
You're not alone, Elaine. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up.
