After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $1,950 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $500
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,250
• Late fees and court costs: $200
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Madrid.
You're not alone, Nuria. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Latina so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Madrid!
Thanks for sharing this, Nuria. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too
stay strong, Nuria. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Nuria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
