Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,400.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 $3,400 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,700
• Late fees and court costs: $300
• Utilities in arrears: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,190
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Santos but we're thinking of you
Wishing you the best, Randall. Hope this works out for you. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'll check back for the next update.
