Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200.
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 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 $200 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• Late fees and court costs: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Lestari. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Zapopan
Keep going, Lestari. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Lestari. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
