After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 night deliveries, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $220
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Haritha
Small update. $152 so far, I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer.
Update from Kota: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 9% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

thinking of you, Haritha. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
