When my hours were cut in half in April, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 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 $3,100 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,650
• Late fees and court costs: $310
• Utilities in arrears: $155
• First month of rent as a buffer: $985
Every share and every dollar helps.

good luck, Michael. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
