After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,850. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave. I've 3 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 weekend shifts, 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 $4,850 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $3,350 • Late fees and court costs: $145 • Utilities in arrears: $280 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,075 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Jie

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

    • Thinking of you and your family, Jie. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

      • Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 17 people at work.

        • Good luck, Jie. Your post was clear and honest

          • Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Belém donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
