After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
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 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $320
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $40
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you, Umesh. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Montréal
Take care, Umesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Wishing you the best, Umesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Umesh. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
