After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,300.
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 three school-aged 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,300 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $200
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,000
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,100
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Jacksonville
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours. All the best!
Sending strength, Patrick. Hope this works out for you. After 10 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan!
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Ikeja
Keep going, Patrick. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Dnipro.
