When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $450 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
• Rent arrears (3 months): $295
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

so sorry you're going through this, Victor. Shared this with my family. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Lagos.
Good luck, Victor. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
