A notice to vacate arrived last week. Anil needs $3,300 to clear the arrears and stay housed in San Diego.

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,900
• Late fees and court costs: $310
• Utilities in arrears: $350
• First month of rent as a buffer: $740
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Anil. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 17 people at work.
Stay strong, Anil. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Stay strong. Hope you get there. Greetings from Aurangabad.
Good luck, Anil. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Agra.
