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

It's all in the list in the story. late fees and court costs is the big one at $380, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Aurora.
Hope it all works out, Russell. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Los Angeles.
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.
take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Warsaw
Thinking of you and your family, Russell. I hope things turn around soon.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Los Angeles.
