After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment 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 November, we must leave.
I've 4 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $20
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope it all works out, Omer. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Sending strength, Omer. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings.
