Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,900.
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 2 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 $3,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $3,000
• Utilities in arrears: $95
• First month of rent as a buffer: $805
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you, Janet. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Leeds.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Nagpur but we're thinking of you
Thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Naivasha
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
sending strength, Janet. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Bengaluru donated after I showed her your page.
