After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $500 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• Rent arrears (3 months): $430
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Swapna
Quick update: $251 raised so far (50%). I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 17% funded and I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs.

Thanks for sharing this, Swapna. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Tampa
