Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,200. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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. 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 $4,200 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,200 • Late fees and court costs: $195 • Utilities in arrears: $350 • First month of rent as a buffer: $455 Thanks for being kind about this.

    can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Charlotte

    • Araceli N. GómezOwnerAnswer

      Thank you. If you're in Charlotte I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

  • Paisley E. Robertson

    rooting for you, Araceli. I hope things turn around soon.

    • Wendy K. White

      Wishing you the best, Araceli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Mar del Plata.

        Hope it all works out, Araceli. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Charlotte.

        • Masud Kamrul Siddique

          you're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

          • Puja Farhana Karim

            I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care

            • James E. Sanders

              Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together

                Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Cork donated after I showed her your page.
