When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
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 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 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $270
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts, Dua. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hang in there, Dua. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Rooting for you, Dua. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Thiruvananthapuram this morning
