Keep a roof over Precious's head in Paarl
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Precious needs $650 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Paarl.

When the restaurant closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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.
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 $650 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
• Utilities in arrears: $75
• Rent arrears (3 months): $420
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Precious. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
Take care, Precious. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
