After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate 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 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 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.
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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $430
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
With deep gratitude,
Idowu

Wishing you the best, Idowu. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Take care, Idowu. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Best of luck, Idowu. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 24 people at work.
sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
hope it all works out, Idowu. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
