Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,750. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 $3,750 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $380 • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,200 • Utilities in arrears: $170 With deep gratitude, Russell

        Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
