Following a long illness in the family, Alberto fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,350. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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. Alberto has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $2,350 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $170 • Late fees and court costs: $240 • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,940 With deep gratitude, Andrea

  • Keep going, Andrea. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best

    • You're not alone. Hope you get there. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Blessings

        Sending strength, Andrea. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

        • Praying for you, Andrea. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care!

          • Good luck, Andrea. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

              Thinking of you and your family, Andrea. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Please keep us posted. Love from Parramatta.

              • Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Dar es Salaam but we're thinking of you.
