When my hours were cut in half in February, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,400. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave. I have two young 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 $3,400 goes: โ€ข Rent arrears (4 months): $2,300 โ€ข Late fees and court costs: $110 โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $290 โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $700 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Emiliano

  • Thanks for sharing this, Emiliano. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
