After a sudden layoff at the call centre, Wilma fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,650.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Wilma has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $2,650 goes:
โข Rent arrears (4 months): $1,650
โข Late fees and court costs: $165
โข Utilities in arrears: $250
โข First month of rent as a buffer: $585
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you, Luuk. Shared it with a few friends.
Sending good thoughts, Luuk. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Coimbatore donated after I showed her your page. All the best
