Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have two young 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $1,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $760
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $75
• First month of rent as a buffer: $280
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending love, Isabel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
praying for you, Isabel. Hope you get there. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending love. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
hope it all works out, Isabel. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Vadodara donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Medellín
