After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $550 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Rent arrears (3 months): $400
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Dalia. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Ibadan.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 9 people at work. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Dalia. This could happen to any of us. Love from Regensburg.
