When the warehouse closed in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,300.
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 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 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 $4,300 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $3,000
• Utilities in arrears: $320
• First month of rent as a buffer: $980
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Syracuse.
Hope it all works out, Amber. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Turin
