After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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.
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 $1,500 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $230
• Late fees and court costs: $70
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,200
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Gdańsk.
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Gdańsk
How is Mariusz doing now?
Hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Mecca but we're thinking of you.
Stay strong, Mariusz. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Take care, Mariusz. This could happen to any of us.
