After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200.
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 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $200 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• First month of rent as a buffer: $100
• Utilities in arrears: $45
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
