When the hotel closed in September, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,750. 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $3,750 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $115 • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,750 • First month of rent as a buffer: $885 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
