When the packaging plant closed in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 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 $2,650 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,900
• Late fees and court costs: $135
• Utilities in arrears: $80
• First month of rent as a buffer: $535
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope things get better soon, Noor. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Sending good thoughts, Noor. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
