After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,900.
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've 1 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 extra hours at a market stall, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $180
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,800
• First month of rent as a buffer: $920
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jessica
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. utilities in arrears comes first ($180) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Berlin.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Berlin.
wishing you peace, Jessica. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Wishing you the best, Jessica. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
gave what I could, wish it was more. After 21 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
