Keep a roof over Colleen's head in Dublin

After a divorce, Colleen is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,850. 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 a toddler and a baby 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $3,850 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,700 • Late fees and court costs: $145 • Utilities in arrears: $100 • First month of rent as a buffer: $905 If you're reading this, thank you.

      Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Nashik this morning.
