When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,500. 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 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 weekend shifts, 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 $3,500 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,950 • Late fees and court costs: $370 • Utilities in arrears: $270 • First month of rent as a buffer: $910 Thanks for reading all this.

    Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

        Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. All the best.

          Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
