When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150.
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 1 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 $150 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
• Late fees and court costs: $45
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Shared it with a few friends. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Bang Khen.
Thanks for sharing this, Mona. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Rooting for you, Mona. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Heliopolis.
