After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 $950 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $540
• Late fees and court costs: $95
• Utilities in arrears: $85
• First month of rent as a buffer: $230

I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
hang in there, Mónica. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Bandung but we're thinking of you. God bless!
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Jeddah this morning!
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thinking of you, Mónica. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Cairo.
