A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Duy needs $2,900 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Reading.

When my hours were cut in half in March, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,900.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,350
• Late fees and court costs: $280
• Utilities in arrears: $190
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,080
Glad we found this place.

Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Blessings!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Duy?
Thank you. If you're in Reading I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Reading.
Take care, Duy. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Reading.
