When the call centre closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $850 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $580
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $190
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong, Tolga. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
take care, Tolga. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of İzmir!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Pasig
