Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,200. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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 $1,200 goes: โ€ข Late fees and court costs: $350 โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $520 โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $330 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Cian
