After a divorce, Roberta is 4 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,000.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 $2,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,150
• Late fees and court costs: $185
• Utilities in arrears: $160
• First month of rent as a buffer: $505
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Best of luck, Roberta. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. God bless.
you're not alone, Roberta. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. God bless
You're not alone, Roberta. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Istanbul.
best of luck, Roberta. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
