After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,000. 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 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $4,000 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,950 • Late fees and court costs: $145 • Utilities in arrears: $125 • First month of rent as a buffer: $780 Thank you so much. - Gregory

Updates from Gregory

  1. Update from Chattanooga: we've started the first stage. We're at 78% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,949 in total) I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,189 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
