After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, 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 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 $350 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $55 • Rent arrears (5 months): $260 • Late fees and court costs: $35 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
