After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, Joseph fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $500.
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 two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Joseph has started working weekend shifts, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $290
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110

Hang in there, Akinyi. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Jalandhar!
You're not alone, Akinyi. This could happen to any of us. All the best
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
