After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,050.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• Rent arrears (4 months): $940
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Tlaquepaque.
wishing you the best, Esperanza. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Tlaquepaque
So sorry you're going through this, Esperanza. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Riyadh
