After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,200
• Utilities in arrears: $70
• Late fees and court costs: $130
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wishing you peace, Maria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
You're not alone, Maria. Looking forward to the next update.
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from London!
Sending strength. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
take care, Maria. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
