Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,200.
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 three school-aged 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $270
• First month of rent as a buffer: $690
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,240

Updates from Angela
Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,173 in total) the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

So sorry you're going through this, Angela. Hope this works out for you. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Aberdeen
Thank you. If you're in Aberdeen I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
You're not alone, Angela. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings
you're not alone, Angela. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
