Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,500. 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 two young 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 $1,500 goes: โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $1,000 โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $180 โ€ข Late fees and court costs: $320 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Dustin

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($98 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 3% funded and the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled.
