After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $4,700 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $410
• Rent arrears (2 months): $3,450
• First month of rent as a buffer: $840
Every share and every dollar helps.

what's already covered and what's the $4,700 for?
Sure. The biggest one is late fees and court costs, $410. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Sending good thoughts, Eliana. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
