After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I've 4 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $800 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $690
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $55
Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Ana
Good news. Because of your gifts ($45 in total) the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Ana
Small update. $35 so far, the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled.
