When my hours were cut in half in September, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $4,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $3,200
• Late fees and court costs: $230
• Utilities in arrears: $125
• First month of rent as a buffer: $645
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you peace, Rocío. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
