When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment 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 December, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $230
• Late fees and court costs: $15
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
How is Sinta doing now?
Wishing you the best, Sinta. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
sending good thoughts, Sinta. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
