Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $550 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• Rent arrears (4 months): $400
• First month of rent as a buffer: $115
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good luck, Subash. Shared this with my family. After 20 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Biratnagar
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.
Thinking of you and your family, Subash. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
