When the textile factory closed in April, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave. I have two young 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 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 $650 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $420 • Late fees and court costs: $30 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $160 Glad we found this place.

      praying for you, Kamrul. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 15 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
