After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave.
I've 4 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 weekend shifts, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $490
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 20 people at work!
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Newcastle
Good luck, Lubna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.
Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Nairobi but we're thinking of you. Love from Nairobi
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted!
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 18 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.
Praying for you, Lubna. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
