Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,400. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 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. 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 $1,400 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $90 • First month of rent as a buffer: $260 • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,050 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Timur

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 99% funded and I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($673 in total) the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $356 so far, the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled.

    Take care, Timur. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

            is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Timur.

            • Timur Kirill MikhailovOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

              Sure. The biggest one is utilities in arrears, $90. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.

            hang in there, Timur. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Awka donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
