After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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 $2,250 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $230
• First month of rent as a buffer: $690
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,330
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Pune.
looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
