When the construction firm closed in July, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I've 1 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,100 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $135
• First month of rent as a buffer: $610
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,355
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Berlin
Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Medellín.
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Granada donated after I showed her your page. Love from Granada.
Rooting for you, Hans. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Addis Ababa this morning. All the best.
