When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $490
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $85
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Gaurav
Good news. Because of your gifts ($60 in total) the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
