After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have two young 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.
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 $3,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,600
• Late fees and court costs: $310
• Utilities in arrears: $115
• First month of rent as a buffer: $825
I hope life is good to you.

Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Peoria so I could bring a meal. Take care!
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Naomi. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Naomi. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Wishing you the best, Naomi. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Madurai donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Ottawa.
