Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,550. 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 4 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 $3,550 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $390 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,150 • Rent arrears (5 months): $2,010 Thank you so much.

    thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

          Thanks for sharing this, Abril. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

            hope it all works out, Abril. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
