When my hours were cut in half in September, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,800.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $2,800 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,650
• Late fees and court costs: $170
• Utilities in arrears: $180
• First month of rent as a buffer: $800
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Rooting for you, Mairead. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. I hope January is when things finally get easier
Thinking of you, Mairead. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
