After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,000.
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 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 night deliveries, 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 $2,000 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $610
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,300
• Late fees and court costs: $90
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($204). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Seo-jun
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. first month of rent as a buffer comes first ($610) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Rooting for you, Seo-jun. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
good luck, Seo-jun. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
