After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, Grace fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are 3 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Grace has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $3,550 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,300
• Late fees and court costs: $150
• Utilities in arrears: $280
• First month of rent as a buffer: $820
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($415). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent arrears.

Take care, Harold. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
