After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,700.
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 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 night deliveries, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,250
• Late fees and court costs: $95
• First month of rent as a buffer: $355
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Ramona
Good news. Because of your gifts ($618 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 20% funded and the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled.

How is Ramona doing now?
You're not alone, Ramona. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Leeds.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ramona.
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (4 months), $1,250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
Hang in there, Ramona. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. Love from Mumbai.
thinking of you. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Novosibirsk
