Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,100. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $4,100 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $2,900 • Late fees and court costs: $150 • Utilities in arrears: $290 • First month of rent as a buffer: $760 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Hassan

      Thank you. If you're in Cardiff I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.

  • Eva Ford

    So sorry you're going through this, Hassan. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Cardiff.

    • Marie Breton

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

          Thinking of you, Hassan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
