When the restaurant closed in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I've 1 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 $600 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $420 • Late fees and court costs: $15 • Utilities in arrears: $35 • First month of rent as a buffer: $130 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Shafiq

Updates from Shafiq

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($90 in total) the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($195 in total) I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $205 so far, I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears.

        Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Montego Bay.
