Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I've 2 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $550 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
• Rent arrears (3 months): $400
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Warangal donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Wishing you peace, Nabirye. This could happen to any of us. I hope December is when things finally get easier
