After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 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.
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 $2,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,450
• Late fees and court costs: $115
• Utilities in arrears: $290
• First month of rent as a buffer: $495
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Kennedy
Good news. Because of your gifts ($133 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $133 raised so far (6%). I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Small update. $100 so far, the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kennedy!
Rent arrears (4 months) is $1,450 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Pretoria.
take care, Kennedy. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Yonkers so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you, Kennedy. Gave what I could, wish it was more
You're not alone, Kennedy. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Kennedy. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
