When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,900. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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 $2,900 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $2,100 • Late fees and court costs: $160 • Utilities in arrears: $165 • First month of rent as a buffer: $475 Glad we found this place. - Omar

Updates from Omar

  1. Quick update: $2,355 raised so far (81%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,031 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 26% now ($759). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs.
