After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750. 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 two young 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 $750 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $510 • Late fees and court costs: $65 • Utilities in arrears: $65 • First month of rent as a buffer: $110 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Kipchoge

    hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Nagpur so I could bring a meal. Take care.

    • Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Houston.

      • Thinking of you, Kipchoge. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
