Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit 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 October, we must leave.
I've 2 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 weekend shifts, 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): $240
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 51% funded and the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Endale?
Thank you. If you're in Hawassa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
take care, Endale. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
Sending strength, Endale. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in London this morning. Take care
