When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,850. 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 a teenager still in school 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $2,850 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $750 • Utilities in arrears: $210 • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,890 Every share and every dollar helps.

  1. Quick update: $262 raised so far (9%). the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. 7% there. I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. Thank you. - Isabella

  3. Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($130). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
