After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
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'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 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.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $440
• First month of rent as a buffer: $70
• Late fees and court costs: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Pune.
Take care, Ashok. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 22 people at work. God bless.
Sending strength. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon!
Best of luck, Ashok. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Christchurch so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Ashok. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Gazipur.
best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Pune.
