Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Nathan's family in Parramatta
A car accident left Nathan short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇦🇺 Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia1,869 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,250.
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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,000
• Late fees and court costs: $370
• Utilities in arrears: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $670
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Nathan. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Kyiv this morning. Blessings
keep going, Nathan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Rio de Janeiro.
Wishing you the best, Nathan. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Heliopolis.
Thinking of you and your family, Nathan. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours.

Good luck, Nathan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
