Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $270
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $85
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hang in there, Kamal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Keep going, Kamal. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best
thinking of you and your family. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless

So sorry you're going through this, Kamal. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Rochester.
