After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 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 $500 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• Late fees and court costs: $60
• Rent arrears (2 months): $415
With deep gratitude,
Viral

Thinking of you, Viral. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Casablanca.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Viral
It's all in the list in the story. utilities in arrears is the big one at $25, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Mangaluru.

Best of luck, Viral. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
You're not alone, Viral. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Viral. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
You're not alone, Viral. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Good luck, Viral. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
