Márcia received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A sudden layoff left Márcia short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When the construction firm closed in February, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 $1,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $860
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $90
• First month of rent as a buffer: $195

Hope it all works out, Márcia. I hope things turn around soon
Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from New York.
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. After 24 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Stay strong, Márcia. Hope you get there
Hope it all works out, Márcia. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Wishing you the best, Márcia. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 26 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Márcia. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Gangnam
praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Warsaw.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Bacolod so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Márcia. This could happen to any of us. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Rajshahi.
