After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit 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 November, we must leave.
I've 2 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 weekend shifts, 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:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $100
• Rent arrears (3 months): $420
• Utilities in arrears: $30
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
