Verona

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700. 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 3 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $700 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $140 • First month of rent as a buffer: $420 • Utilities in arrears: $140 Every share and every dollar helps. - Maria

due date: 2026-10-11
bill type: Rent arrears

Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless

Wishing you the best, Maria. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from București.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Verona
