After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,000.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave.
I've 3 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $1,000 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $520
• Late fees and court costs: $195
• Utilities in arrears: $285
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Gwagwalada so I could bring a meal
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Daegu.
Thanks for sharing this, Philipp. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.

It's all in the list in the story. first month of rent as a buffer is the big one at $520, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
