After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,000.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I've 2 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 $3,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,000
• Late fees and court costs: $270
• Utilities in arrears: $180
• First month of rent as a buffer: $550
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Manuel
Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($243). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 6% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. - Manuel
Good news. Because of your gifts ($128 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope things get better soon, Manuel. Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
