When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment 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 September, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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.
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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $320
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $145
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

hang in there, Nikhil. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Chennai
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kota
best of luck, Nikhil. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Sending strength, Nikhil. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Üsküdar
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Dasmariñas.
Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kota.
