Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit 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 June, we must leave.
I've 1 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 weekend shifts, 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:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $3,050
• Late fees and court costs: $320
• Utilities in arrears: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $920
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you the best, Min-ji. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Kaduna this morning. Love from Kaduna.
Good luck, Min-ji. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Sending good thoughts, Min-ji. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Madrid
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Min-ji. Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
