Anaheim
After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,550. 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 3 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 $3,550 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,250 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,000 • Utilities in arrears: $300 Glad we found this place.

    Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.

          Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
