Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,200.
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 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $1,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $720
• Late fees and court costs: $115
• Utilities in arrears: $100
• First month of rent as a buffer: $265
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Best of luck, Oneil. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Mandeville!
Thank you. If you're in Mandeville I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Mandeville.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Mandeville
sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
