After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,900.
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've 2 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,950
• Late fees and court costs: $170
• Utilities in arrears: $190
• First month of rent as a buffer: $590
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

so sorry you're going through this, Lorena. Shared it with a few friends. After 21 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Sending strength, Lorena. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Rochester.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Entebbe
