After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave.
I've 1 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $430
• Late fees and court costs: $60
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Bengaluru.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Thinking of you, Swetha. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Quezon City.
stay strong, Swetha. Hope this works out for you. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Keep going, Swetha. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Taguig.
