Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
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 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $400 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• Rent arrears (5 months): $280
Thank you so much.

Hang in there, Dwi. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Manila.
Rooting for you, Dwi. Hope you get there. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
