When the construction firm closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
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 have a teenager still in school 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $350 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $300
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $25

Sending strength, Afshan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Sending love, Afshan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Surakarta this morning. Thinking of Karachi
Sending strength, Afshan. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Laredo but we're thinking of you. All the best
Sending strength, Afshan. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Gwangju.
