After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,300. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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. 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 $1,300 goes: โ€ข Late fees and court costs: $120 โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $900 โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $280 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Jayden

Updates from Jayden

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($572 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($200). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
