When my hours were cut in half in May, Sara fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $350. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, the family must leave. There are 2 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Sara has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $350 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $230 • Late fees and court costs: $25 • Utilities in arrears: $15 • First month of rent as a buffer: $80 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Bereket
