Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I have two young 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 $550 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $45 • First month of rent as a buffer: $145 • Rent arrears (3 months): $360 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Olga

Thank you all. We're at 41% now ($225). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 39% funded and I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer.
We're at 24% thanks to 3 of you. the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled. More news soon.
