Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave. I've 4 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. 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 $400 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $230 • Late fees and court costs: $25 • Utilities in arrears: $35 • First month of rent as a buffer: $110 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • Take care, Ngozi. Hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too!

    • So sorry you're going through this, Ngozi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

      • Wishing you peace, Ngozi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings!
