After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
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 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 $500 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $65
• Rent arrears (3 months): $410
• Utilities in arrears: $25
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
Sending love, Usman. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Barranquilla
Hope things get better soon, Usman. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Chattogram.
Rooting for you, Usman. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Essen so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Usman
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. first month of rent as a buffer comes first ($65) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
Hang in there, Usman. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Usman. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Salem.
Sending love, Usman. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Best of luck, Usman. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Geelong.
