Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday 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 June, we must leave. I've 3 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. 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 $3,100 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,550 • First month of rent as a buffer: $340 • Late fees and court costs: $210 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Carlo

Updates from Carlo

  1. Quick update: $532 raised so far (17%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($252 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Limoges.
