After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,100. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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 $3,100 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,950 • Late fees and court costs: $270 • Utilities in arrears: $120 • First month of rent as a buffer: $760 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Shapla

Updates from Shapla

  1. Thank you all. We're at 39% now ($1,224). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from London: we've started the first stage. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
