After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $890
• Late fees and court costs: $280
• Utilities in arrears: $280

good luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 7 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Kevin. I hope things turn around soon.
Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
