Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter 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 October, we must leave.
I have two young 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 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.
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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $210
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
Every share and every dollar helps.

Praying for you, Nabirye. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Da Nang.
hang in there, Nabirye. This could happen to any of us
so sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
hang in there, Nabirye. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 37 people at work.
