Oskar received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A cut in working hours left Oskar short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,350.
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 have two young 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.
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 $4,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,400
• Late fees and court costs: $210
• Utilities in arrears: $260
• First month of rent as a buffer: $480
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Oskar.
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (3 months), $3,400. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
Sending love, Oskar. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Bengaluru.
Stay strong, Oskar. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Nakuru.
