When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $900.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $900 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $610
• First month of rent as a buffer: $195
• Utilities in arrears: $95
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out, Antonio. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Niterói.
Hope it all works out, Antonio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal
Sending love, Antonio. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Jakarta.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Casablanca.
