After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $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 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $750 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $100 • Utilities in arrears: $95 • Rent arrears (3 months): $555 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Araceli

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($11 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
