Keep a roof over Amira's head in Cardiff

After a delayed insurance payout, Amira is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,300. 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 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 night deliveries, 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 $3,300 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,100 • Late fees and court costs: $260 • Utilities in arrears: $135 • First month of rent as a buffer: $805 Thank you for reading my story. - Amira

Updates from Amira

  1. Small update. $1,748 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from Cardiff: I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. We're at 24% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
