After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 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 $200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I've 4 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.
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 $200 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $40
Thank you so much.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Rafiq?

Hang in there, Rafiq. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Faisalabad.
wishing you the best, Rafiq. Shared it with a few friends. After 25 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything
