After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, 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 $3,050.
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'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 night deliveries, 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 $3,050 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $195
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,550
• Late fees and court costs: $305
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Nashik
Sending love, Noah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
hope things get better soon, Noah. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Auckland.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope July is when things finally get easier. All the best.
