After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,900.
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've 3 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $1,900 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $115
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,550
• Utilities in arrears: $235
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong, Aurora. Hope this works out for you
You're not alone, Aurora. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Abbottabad.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Jakarta Barat
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
