After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
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've 4 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.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $400
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Obuasi.
Looking forward to the next update. Love from Tehuacán.
Sending good thoughts, Hannah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Obuasi
Thank you. If you're in Obuasi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Rooting for you, Hannah. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Hannah. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Half-Way Tree.
