After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,900. 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 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. 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 $3,900 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,900 • Late fees and court costs: $140 • Utilities in arrears: $110 • First month of rent as a buffer: $750 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Kandy but we're thinking of you.

    • Praying for you, Atsushi. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

      • Sending good thoughts, Atsushi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care

        • You're not alone, Atsushi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

          • I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Houston this morning.
