When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,350.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 $1,350 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $320
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Rent arrears (3 months): $990
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Patrice. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Patrice?
Thank you. If you're in Montego Bay I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope things get better soon, Patrice. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 4 people at work. Thinking of Montego Bay
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Seoul
