After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,700. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 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 $1,700 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,250 • Late fees and court costs: $65 • Utilities in arrears: $95 • First month of rent as a buffer: $290 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Sending love, Paulina. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Gdańsk.

    • Filippo Matteo Morelli

      Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      • Intan Fani Siregar

        hope it all works out, Paulina. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning. Love from Manila.
