When the construction firm closed in April, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,050.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I've 4 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 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.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• Rent arrears (3 months): $750
• First month of rent as a buffer: $235
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Thiago
Good news. Because of your gifts ($482 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $307 so far, the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 26% funded and I made the first payment toward rent arrears.
