When the textile factory closed in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,500. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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. 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 $4,500 goes: โ€ข Rent arrears (4 months): $3,550 โ€ข Late fees and court costs: $140 โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $140 โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $670 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      take care, Micah. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Glasgow but we're thinking of you

      • rooting for you. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

        • rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up.

          • Hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings

            • sending good thoughts, Micah. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

              • Keep going, Micah. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
