After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,850. 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 a teenager still in school 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,850 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,900 • Late fees and court costs: $180 • Utilities in arrears: $210 • First month of rent as a buffer: $560 Every share and every dollar helps.

        Hang in there, Rodrigo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
