After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, 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 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 $1,250 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $900 • Utilities in arrears: $100 • First month of rent as a buffer: $250 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Rodrigo

Updates from Rodrigo

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,251 in total) the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Santos: I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. We're at 87% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Small update. $435 so far, I made the first payment toward rent arrears.

          Take care, Rodrigo. It takes guts to ask. Well done.

            Thanks for sharing this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from London.

              Sending love, Rodrigo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
