Thủ Đức
After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 night deliveries, 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 $700 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $490 • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Utilities in arrears: $55 • First month of rent as a buffer: $115 Thank you so much.

      Sending strength. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

            You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
