When my hours were cut in half in April, Irene fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,750.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Irene has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $2,750 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,950
• First month of rent as a buffer: $560
• Late fees and court costs: $240
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong, Fernando. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together.
Thinking of you and your family, Fernando. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mekelle.
Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Fernando. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Blessings!
