After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $4,450 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,450
• Late fees and court costs: $165
• Utilities in arrears: $190
• First month of rent as a buffer: $645
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you the best, Teresa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 30 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Zagazig.
Thinking of you and your family, Teresa. Looking forward to the next update
Best of luck, Teresa. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 30 people at work
Sending love, Teresa. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Jacksonville donated after I showed her your page. God bless
