After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I've 2 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $1,750 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $510
• Utilities in arrears: $165
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,075
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't give up.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Alessia?
Thank you. If you're in Brescia I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Istanbul.
how is Alessia doing now?
Praying for you, Alessia. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Ibadan this morning.
You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings!
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
hang in there, Alessia. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Recife
