Keep a roof over Nuala's head in Limerick
After a long illness, Nuala is 4 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,250 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $190
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,200
• First month of rent as a buffer: $860
With deep gratitude,
Nuala

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 20 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thanks for sharing this, Nuala. 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.
so sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. I hope May is when things finally get easier
Best of luck, Nuala. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Pune
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nuala.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. utilities in arrears is the biggest at $190. Thanks for looking so closely.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Adama so I could bring a meal. God bless
so sorry you're going through this, Nuala. I hope things turn around soon.
This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Limerick.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
You're not alone, Nuala. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
