When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $240
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck, John. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope things get better soon, John. Shared it with a few friends
