After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,700 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $110
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,050
• First month of rent as a buffer: $540
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Emily. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
hope things get better soon, Emily. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Rome so I could bring a meal. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
Wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
