When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,500
• Late fees and court costs: $250
• Utilities in arrears: $280
• First month of rent as a buffer: $520
Thanks for being kind about this.

Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Johannesburg
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Addis Ababa
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Love from Coventry.
praying for you, Colm. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
