After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 $3,300 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,950
• Late fees and court costs: $360
• Utilities in arrears: $175
• First month of rent as a buffer: $815
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you, Theodore. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Good luck, Theodore. This could happen to any of us. After 19 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Lahore.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Saint Paul
Thank you. If you're in Saint Paul I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Rooting for you, Theodore. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Best of luck, Theodore. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Sending strength, Theodore. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted.
