Lia received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

Following a long illness in the family, Lia fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $650. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Lia has started working night deliveries, and is 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 $650 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $480 • Late fees and court costs: $55 • Utilities in arrears: $25 • First month of rent as a buffer: $90 Thank you for reading my story. - Zahra
