Ronke received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
After a cut in working hours, Ronke is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 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.
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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $350
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
How is Ronke doing now?
sending love, Ronke. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Suwon
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ronke?
Best of luck, Ronke. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 22 people at work.
Good luck, Ronke. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Epe
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ronke.
Rent arrears (3 months) is $350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Take care, Ronke. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
You're not alone, Ronke. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
Praying for you, Ronke. This could happen to any of us
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope things get better soon, Ronke. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update
Hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Epe.
