Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,450.
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 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 $4,450 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $3,400
• Late fees and court costs: $290
• Utilities in arrears: $140
• First month of rent as a buffer: $620
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 14 people at work.
Hope it all works out, Hannah. This could happen to any of us. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of St. Louis.
Stay strong, Hannah. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you the best. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Stellenbosch donated after I showed her your page. Love from Stellenbosch.
Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of St. Louis!
wishing you peace, Hannah. Looking forward to the next update.
