After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,400. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave. I have two young 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $3,400 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $2,100 • Late fees and court costs: $240 • Utilities in arrears: $250 • First month of rent as a buffer: $810 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Sigrid

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Södertälje.

      Thank you. If you're in Södertälje I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

  • Isaac E. Byrd

    I hope things turn around soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

    • Pooja E. Amin

      Wishing you the best, Sigrid. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

        Thinking of you, Sigrid. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Leeds.
