Tarkwa
After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday 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 a toddler and a baby 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: • Late fees and court costs: $60 • Rent arrears (3 months): $230 • First month of rent as a buffer: $160 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Kwame

Updates from Kwame

  1. Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($45). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Update from Tarkwa: I made the first payment toward rent arrears. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Quick update: $25 raised so far (6%). the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Kwame
