Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate 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 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 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.
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 $450 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• Rent arrears (3 months): $325
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there, Kamau. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
