When my hours were cut in half in February, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave.
I have two young 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.
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 $150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $85
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Late fees and court costs: $35
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out, Zawadi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
