When the construction firm closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,350
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,100
• Utilities in arrears: $300
Every share and every dollar helps.

Stay strong, Gabriella. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Tlaquepaque.
Keep going, Gabriella. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Madurai so I could bring a meal. Blessings
