Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday 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 August, we must leave.
I've 4 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 weekend shifts, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $400
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• Late fees and court costs: $65
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you, Akash. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Swansea but we're thinking of you
Hope things get better soon, Akash. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Love from Athens
