When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,750. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $1,750 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $150 • Late fees and court costs: $140 • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,460 With deep gratitude, Romane

                Hang in there, Romane. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
