After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400. 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 1 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 $400 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $185 • Late fees and court costs: $50 • Utilities in arrears: $20 • First month of rent as a buffer: $145 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - James

  • Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Entebbe

    • Keep going, James. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
