Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,000.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave.
I've 4 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $1,000 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $340
• Rent arrears (3 months): $570
• Utilities in arrears: $90
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up.
Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
Sending love, Luciana. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
So sorry you're going through this, Luciana. This could happen to any of us.
Wishing you the best, Luciana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Luciana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Campinas.
