When the call centre closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $360
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this, Khalid. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
best of luck, Khalid. It takes guts to ask. Well done!
