Keep a roof over Landon's head in Fayetteville

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,100.
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 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 $3,100 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,000
• Late fees and court costs: $155
• Utilities in arrears: $230
• First month of rent as a buffer: $715
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Yekaterinburg
Keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Take care.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Fayetteville.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (3 months), advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there, Landon. Your post was clear and honest
Rooting for you, Landon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bogor.
good luck, Landon. This could happen to any of us. God bless
