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

Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Riverside donated after I showed her your page

Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.

Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Nice.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Hang in there, Romane. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
