Keep a roof over Natalia's head in Aurora

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Natalia needs $4,850 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Aurora.

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,850. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 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. 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 $4,850 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,250 • Late fees and court costs: $290 • Utilities in arrears: $210 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,100 Thank you for reading my story.

    Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Warsaw

      Wishing you peace, Natalia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.

      • Sasithorn Anong Sombat

        reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 3 people at work. Take care.

          Rooting for you, Natalia. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings

          • Salim Bilal Jaber

            Keep going, Natalia. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
