When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $250 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
• Late fees and court costs: $55
Every share and every dollar helps.

- Helped when no one else could
Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

Stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Móstoles.
