When the construction firm closed in April, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I have two young 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 night deliveries, 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 $2,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,450
• Late fees and court costs: $145
• Utilities in arrears: $200
• First month of rent as a buffer: $355
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Gabriele
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,329 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

You're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 28 people at work.
Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Gabriele. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
