Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
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 1 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $480
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $55

Wishing you the best, Tariq. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Gwagwalada donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Gwagwalada.
You're not alone, Tariq. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
