Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 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 $300 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $100
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
With deep gratitude,
Claudia

- Truly grateful for the support
I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
- Professional and kind
I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

Hope things get better soon, Claudia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 9 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Rome
I hope things turn around soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Hải Phòng donated after I showed her your page.
Stay strong, Claudia. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Iztapalapa
