After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, Rafael fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $350.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave.
There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Rafael has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $350 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $230
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• Late fees and court costs: $70
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Thane.
