After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I've 1 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $1,250 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $740
• Late fees and court costs: $130
• Utilities in arrears: $380
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Quezon City
Sending good thoughts. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
