After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate 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 December, 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $350 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $230
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $65
I hope life is good to you.

gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Hang in there, Mazen. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Freiburg
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Good luck, Mazen. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours
Best of luck, Mazen. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Sending love, Mazen. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal!
