After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, Marisol fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,600. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Marisol has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $3,600 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,150 • Late fees and court costs: $190 • Utilities in arrears: $170 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,090 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • thinking of you, Consuelo. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.

    • Thinking of you, Consuelo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Duisburg.

      • I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Bonny.

          Thinking of you and your family, Consuelo. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Buffalo.

          • hope it all works out, Consuelo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.

            • You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

              • a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't give up

                  Best of luck, Consuelo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
