Hialeah
After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $900. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $900 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $480 • Utilities in arrears: $190 • Late fees and court costs: $230 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    • Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Jessore so I could bring a meal. Take care.

      • Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Hialeah.

        • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jonathan.

          • Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Kakamega.
