Keep a roof over Theodore's head in Dundee
After a delayed insurance payout, Theodore is 2 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇬🇧 Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom3,399 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 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 $2,550 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,400
• Late fees and court costs: $125
• Utilities in arrears: $100
• First month of rent as a buffer: $925
Every share and every dollar helps.

Any update on how things are going in Dundee?
Praying for you, Theodore. This could happen to any of us. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Theodore.
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (2 months), $1,400. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
Good luck, Theodore. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Joliet this morning. Thinking of Dundee.
Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together!
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless!
looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Surat.
