Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Rachel's family in Belfast
A delayed insurance payout left Rachel short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇬🇧 Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom2,341 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,450.
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 teenager still in school 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.
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 $3,450 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $185
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,700
• First month of rent as a buffer: $565
I hope life is good to you.

so sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Keep going, Rachel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update.
Stay strong, Rachel. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
