When the restaurant closed in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200.
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've 4 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 night deliveries, 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 $200 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Samuel. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 17 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Samuel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Wishing you the best, Samuel. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Gujranwala donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Wishing you peace, Samuel. Shared this with my family. Blessings
