When my hours were cut in half in September, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit 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 December, we must leave.
I've 2 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 $3,200 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $260
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,600
• Late fees and court costs: $340

Thinking of you, Doris. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Sheffield.
best of luck, Doris. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care!
Thanks for sharing this, Doris. Shared this with my family.
Keep going, Doris. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
