Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,100 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,050
• Late fees and court costs: $270
• First month of rent as a buffer: $780
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

thinking of you, Audrey. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
Thanks for sharing this. 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.
Wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Memphis
Good luck, Audrey. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
