Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,000. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave. I've 1 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 weekend shifts, 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 $1,000 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $390 • Utilities in arrears: $190 • First month of rent as a buffer: $420 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Angel

    Thinking of you and your family, Angel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.

    • Stéphane Chevalier

      Praying for you, Angel. Shared this with my family.

      • Bruno C. Muñoz

        Praying for you, Angel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

        • Joko Wahyu Lie

          Wishing you peace, Angel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.

          • Michel Huet

            Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
