After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,800. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 $2,800 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,700 • Late fees and court costs: $170 • Utilities in arrears: $210 • First month of rent as a buffer: $720 If you're reading this, thank you.

  • you're not alone, Felix. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

    • Hope things get better soon, Felix. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 28 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Berlin.

      • Sending love, Felix. Shared it with a few friends. Take care!
