When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,850.
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 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 $2,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,150
• Utilities in arrears: $135
• First month of rent as a buffer: $565
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

thinking of you, Michelle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Campinas donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 38 people at work. Love from Tlaquepaque.
Wishing you the best, Michelle. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Akron
Keep going, Michelle. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Porto Alegre.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Strasbourg.
