After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $5,300. 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'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 $5,300 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $3,750 • Late fees and court costs: $290 • Utilities in arrears: $330 • First month of rent as a buffer: $930 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

      Hang in there, Ezra. Shared this with my family. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best

          Take care, Ezra. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
