Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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 night deliveries, 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 $1,100 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $150
• Rent arrears (5 months): $890
• Late fees and court costs: $60
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there, Laura. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
so sorry you're going through this, Laura. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Stay strong. Hope you get there. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
You're not alone, Laura. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning.
