When my hours were cut in half in July, Kamil fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,900. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave. There are 2 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Kamil has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $1,900 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,350 • Late fees and court costs: $115 • Utilities in arrears: $70 • First month of rent as a buffer: $365 Thanks for reading all this.

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kamil?

        Thank you. If you're in Katowice I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

    • Stay strong. Hope this works out for you!

      • sending strength, Artur. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. God bless!

        • good luck, Artur. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Katowice

          • Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. All the best.

            • Good luck, Artur. Gave what I could, wish it was more!
