Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,300.
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 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 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.
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 $2,300 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $150
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,800
• Utilities in arrears: $350
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Oliver. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
