Keep a roof over Aurora's head in Leeds

After a sudden layoff, Aurora is 4 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When the restaurant closed in March, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,100. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 $3,100 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,400 • Late fees and court costs: $120 • Utilities in arrears: $110 • First month of rent as a buffer: $470 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        Keep going, Aurora. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
