After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,150. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, we must leave. I've 3 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 night deliveries, 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 $3,150 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $720 • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,200 • Late fees and court costs: $230 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Tim

    everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Noida donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Noida.

    • Wishing you the best, Tim. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Berlin

      • a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 13 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
