When the bakery closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I have two young 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 $450 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $150 • Rent arrears (3 months): $280 • Utilities in arrears: $20 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Kamau

      Hope it all works out, Kamau. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.

      • You're not alone, Kamau. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Valencia.
