After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,650. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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 $1,650 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $360 • Late fees and court costs: $250 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,040 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Robert

      Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Nottingham

        Good luck, Robert. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Jakarta.

          wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
