After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,400.
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 weekend shifts, 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 $4,400 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,050
• Late fees and court costs: $130
• Utilities in arrears: $190
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,030
Thanks for reading all this.

take care, Evelyn. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
You're not alone, Evelyn. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Madrid.
Keep going, Evelyn. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Greetings from Naples
