Guadalupe
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,150. 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 a teenager still in school 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. 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 $1,150 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $95 • Utilities in arrears: $60 • Rent arrears (4 months): $995 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

            Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

              Sending good thoughts, Liliana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 7 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Rome
