After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
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 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 weekend shifts, 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 $350 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $200
• Late fees and court costs: $70
• Utilities in arrears: $80
Thanks for reading all this.

Rooting for you, Mariana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care
Thinking of you and your family, Mariana. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Amsterdam so I could bring a meal
Hope it all works out, Mariana. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
