After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, 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 $200. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $200 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $35 • Late fees and court costs: $25 • First month of rent as a buffer: $140 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Jayanthi

We're at 43% thanks to 6 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.
We're at 38% thanks to 5 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($45 in total) the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
